Where Past meets Present!

A group children from Oakfield made the short trip to Craigielea Care Home in Low Fell today armed with their favourite toys. Whilst there, they met some residents from the home who reminisced about and showed the toys they used to play with as children, whilst our children showed the residents how to use their toys. As you can imagine, the gap in technology between the types of toys was immense. The residents used to entertain themselves with the cup and ball, tiddly winks and spinning top as opposed to PSP, Nintendo DS and I Pod Touch. Both the children and the residents had a fantastic afternoon and learnt so much about each other's toys and life. Look out for the story appearing in the Evening Chronicle over the next couple of weeks.
