Newton House celebrates World Bee Day with special visit from Poplar Farm School Ambassadors
Residents at Newton House Care Home were delighted to welcome their wonderful friends from Poplar Farm School as they came together to celebrate World Bee Day .
The special intergenerational event saw residents and students take part in a variety of themed activities while learning all about bees, their importance within the environment and the vital role they play in nature and food production.
Throughout the morning, residents and students enjoyed spending quality time together through fun, educational and interactive activities, creating wonderful conversations, laughter and meaningful connections across the generations.
