🌼 A Special Intergenerational Experience at St Mary’s School 🌼
Yesterday we were treated to a wonderful VIP experience at St Mary’s School. We were delighted to be invited to watch the children perform their Easter play, and we were so impressed by their performance.
We were warmly greeted on arrival by Daisy, a pupil at the school who also runs our “Through the Eyes of a Child” programme at The Anchorage, along with Mrs Hatcher (Deputy Head Teacher). From the moment we arrived, our residents instantly felt so welcomed, especially with our VIP seats and the lovely welcome from the whole school.
The staff and children were incredibly welcoming, polite, and professional, with their confidence shining through from start to finish. One of our residents, Ada, was asked by Mrs Hatcher what advice she would give the children. She replied, “Speak nice and loudly” and they certainly did. This meant we could fully enjoy their fantastic musical storytelling.
We feel so lucky to have such meaningful connections, and it was lovely to see the children recognising us and coming over to say hello. These intergenerational links are priceless.
Kate, Community Engagement Manager at The Anchorage, shared: “It’s always so special to spend time with the children at St Mary’s. Seeing the joy, confidence, and connection between generations is something we really treasure.”
Thank you again for making us feel so welcome 💛
