Letters from schoolchildren

Tree of Life
Our next Art and Craft project is a lovely idea - creating a Tree of Life collage with each leaf capturing a phrase or saying that's important to that resident. We all have these sayings don't we. They can be things that underpin who we are and how we make decisions in life....it could be...
