Little people and lots of laughter
This year, Yaralla Place has been filled with lively chatter and laughter as Prep students from Maryborough West State and Riverside Prep schools visited their older friends.
The students, accompanied by their teacher and the school principal, joined the residents for fun exercise classes. A crowd favourite was the activity that involves residents and students working together to keep balloons in the air using a large parachute. The children could be heard giggling as they danced with the residents in the ever-popular ‘musical statues’ game.
Yaralla Place Manager, Rozina, says the residents love the interaction with their young friends.
“They really look forward to the children’s visits, and seeing both generations interact in such a fun way through the exercises and games is beautiful to watch.”
The initiative has proved so popular, we’re making it a part of our Lifestyle Program again next year.
