Marking the special occasion on the fourth of May, affectionately known as "May the Fourth Be With You," our residents enjoyed a day filled with galactic fun, creativity, and camaraderie.

A Day in a Galaxy Far, Far Away

The festivities kicked off with a classic Star Wars movie marathon, transporting our residents to a galaxy far, far away. The lounge was transformed into a mini theatre, complete with comfortable seating and themed decorations, setting the perfect atmosphere for a day of cinematic adventure. The residents were captivated by the epic tales of heroism, adventure, and the timeless battle between the light and dark sides of the Force.

In addition to the movie marathon, the residents got hands-on with Star Wars-themed arts and crafts. Everyone actively participated in making crafts of their favourite Star Wars characters and iconic spacecraft. The crafts session was a hit, with residents enthusiastically shaping and painting pictures of beloved figures like Yoda, Darth Vader, and more.

The arts and crafts session not only sparked creativity but also encouraged social interaction and teamwork among the residents. Laughter and lively conversations filled the room as everyone shared their favourite moments from the movies and admired each other’s creations.

Residents wore Star Wars-themed attire and accessories, fully immersing themselves in the celebration. The staff also joined in the fun, dressing up as iconic characters and ensuring that the day was memorable for everyone.
