hi anita im sorry this is a bit late but maybe you could use it next time what I did is we made a memory tree with some branches from a tree put it in a planter or big pot then we made some poppies from card felt and one lady crochet some then we had a good old chat about the war and their memories and if they wanted to they could attach a note to their poppy and then put it on the tree on the day we put the tree in the middle of the room while watching it on the tele this went down very well

Hi I was going to get Residents to crochet Poppy’s for Remembrance Day. Would anyone have the patterns please.

My residents enjoy watching the service on the TV but I also show the DVD 'Goodnight Mr Tom' earlier in the week. Many of our residents are of the age group that were 'evacuated' to the country during the war.

I absolutely love this idea and can be easily tailored to suit the seasons and have used a very similar board before. There are so many amazing, wonderful ideas on this site. Thank you so much
