Sibling Sleepovers at Francis House

There are lots of things to do in Francis House.

JACUZZI
Relax and chill out in our warm jacuzzi.

COMPUTER GAMES
Andrew and Gerry are a wizz on the computers. We have a Dreamcast "blue"and Playstation to name but a few. You can play on your own or with friend.

GOING OUT
Sometimes we might go on a trip, in our bus or car to the zoo, aquarium, ball park or the beach, swimming baths, bowling, the cinema or the airport plane spotting. Most days we will go for a walk to the park or the shops or plane spotting at the airport.

SLEEPING
You may have to share a room with your brother or sister. There is not much chance to lie in so be sure to get to bed early enough to have lots of sleep ready to have fun the next day.

TEENAGE ROOM
Just for teenagers (must be 13+) to play their music, chat and chill.

GARDEN
We have a big garden. You can play football, or play on the swings. There are bikes to ride. Sometimes we have sand or water outside. If it's sunny we might have a picnic.

MUSIC ROOM
You can have lots of fun without being good at music. We've got drums, keyboards, and shakers and lots more. We sometimes have a sing-a-long around the piano.If you are learning an instrument you may bring it along - Brigitte, our music therapist, would love to listen to you and play with you.

ART ROOM
You can paint pictures do some printing, crayoning, felt tips or stencils. CRAFT
Janice has some great ideas for things to do in this room -Modelling, cutting, gluing plus lots of other activities.

SOFT PLAY
Climb up the steps, roll down the slope, hide in the cave as much as you like without hurting yourself. A great place for letting off steam!

SENSORY ROOM
In this special room imagine yourself underneath the sea or floating in outer space. Lights, projected images, bubble tubes and fibre optics combine with music to create a super atmosphere.
