It was such a delight to see our students at @WindyhallH complete their #Autumn tree pictures in pastel, such cosy colours🍂
Also such an encouragement to see our art classes continuing digitally, despite #lockdown

Residents have enjoyed reading pupils experiences and showed empathy on their situation. Many residents stated they thought the pupils showed resilience in the lockdown situation. @GenerationsWT @alzscot @CareInspect @sahscp @DrDMacaskill @scottishcare

Julie from Dementia Friendly Prestwick droppedoff knitting packs for residents & staff to take part in an exciting knitting project. This will culminate in an art exhibition at Rozelle Gallery later in the year. @DrDMacaskill @scottishcare @dementiapwick @CareInspect @IanMWelsh

@IanMWelsh @ALLIANCEScot @SenseScotland @SLi_interaction @dbscotland Absolutely agree. We (@dementiapwick ) are talking with @WindyhallH about an intergenerational project to create learning aids for Makaton (with a local primary school). I'm learning #BSL and it's a beautiful, expressive language.
