A socially distanced 'hello!' from Abbot’s Hill School to Water Mill House Care Home​

Last week, pupils onsite at Abbot's Hill under the key worker care provision and nursery spent time designing colourful banners and drawings for a very special cause. On Friday, the children said hello from the hill to Water Mill House Care Home in Apsley, Hemel Hempstead.

Pupils and staff members walked down the School drive to stand safely on the other side of the road of the care home. They waved and showed the residents their drawings, banners and pictures. The care home residents and their carers waved through the windows back at the children. It brought smiles to everyone’s faces.

Even cars, cyclists and pedestrians beeped horns and waved hello!

Bringing a little bit of happiness to the elderly residents who may not have been able to have seen their own grandchildren and families was a wonderful way to spend a Friday afternoon and the pupils thoroughly enjoyed meeting some new friends.

Abbot’s Hill have subsequently received a heartfelt thank you from one of the carers at Water Mill House Care Home on behalf of the residents.
