Caring at Christmas
Home Instead Senior Care is an ambitious company whose intention is to care for the elderly in their own home. Every year they organise a Christmas card competition. Although they cover the majority of England, our cards from Hawthorn Class at Great Horwood School will be dispatched by the Buckingham and Milton Keynes branches.
There will be a winning Christmas card selected from schools in Buckinghamshire and this will be printed onto cards that will be sent to the people Home Instead care for. On the inside of our Christmas cards we had to write what we think it is like to be eighty years old.
Why did we enter? It was a fun and friendly competition against other schools and because we want to make the elderly feel appreciated after a challenging year.
We would like to enter the competition again next year as it has been very enjoyable and we do not want anyone to feel alone at Christmas. We hope our cards can put a smile on people’s faces.
