Fountains staff and residents celebrated the Year of the Ox with a variety of interesting activities last week.
They created their own art work based on the symbols of positive words and were all fascinated that each symbol represented a different word.
Good fortunes were written and handed out to each other in lucky red envelopes.
The home was decorated and paper lanterns were made to add to the traditional decorations.
There was an afternoon enjoying traditional dragon dancing and residents even had a go too! They marvelled at the vibrant costumes.
There was a delicious Chinese banquet made by our hospitality team which included Spring Rolls, Chicken in Black Bean Sauce, Special Fried Rice, Vegetable Chop Suey and Prawn Chow Mein accompanied by Prawn Crackers.
The week was concluded with traditional Tai Chi which is a Chinese Martial Art as well as a form of meditation and it was a relaxing end to the celebrations.
Happy Lunar New Year from the Fountains Family.
