🐸 Wellies and puddle suits at the ready kids! Time for a pond extension I think 😁
Our Fun-packed February has been full of activities inspired by 🐯 Chinese New Year,
❤️ Valentine’s Day, the weather 🌧 and the RSPB’s Big Bird Watch 🦅
🌈The children have enjoyed lots of water, ice and sensory play, and Rain and Rainbows have been a strong theme of the month ☔️
🌳We have had lots of fun exploring the garden and sheltering in the greenhouse from the rain. Watching the birds and searching for wildlife 🐞 🐌

👋 So one of my New Year goals was to find more time to post to the page little and often rather than in big chunks 😁
I’m going to start that goal tomorrow 😂 Here’s a big chunky post of what we’ve been up to this year so far …..
🧊❄️ 🍁
We’ve been doing a lot of sensory play over the past couple of weeks and have used the weather for inspiration. We’ve done some great ice play and the children have enjoyed collecting leaves, twigs and other wintery finds from the garden. 🐻❄️🐧 The children have explored the cold and animals that live in the cold and we’ve read some great stories.
⛄️ They had great fun in their igloo and really enjoyed our snowy play scenes. The basket of snowballs are still a strong favourite with spontaneous snow ball fights happening every half hour 😂
We’ve recycled a lot of bits and pieces leftover from Christmas in our play and activities, done a lot of counting, turn-taking and sharing activities, made musical instruments, and also explored the colours blue and white.
🥶 A chilly but really fun start to the year! 👍

🎁 A massive thank you to all my wonderful children and parents, past and present, for all the beautiful cards and gifts! I have been truly spoilt ❤️
🏡 From our home to yours I wish you all a fantastic fun-packed Christmas and a peaceful start to the new year!
(also, if anyone has any activity ideas for January for 24 rubber duckies I’d be grateful for them 🤣)

🧪 We have had so much fun this week with our mini experiments. We’ve explored magnets, textures and smells, hot and cold and lots of different sounds.
In short, we’ve made a lot of mess 😂 but had lots of fun in the process 👍
Wishing everyone a fantastic weekend xx

🕷️ Lots of Fun this morning when a “Gigantic, massive” spider was found in the box of cars. The spider, now named ‘Cheese 🧀’ was evicted from the car box and re-homed in his freshly and so carefully renovated annex at the front door. Enjoy your freedom, Cheese. 😂

🦕 🌼 Dinosaurs, dragons and lots of books this week! 📚
We’ve had a really lovely busy week. We’ve visited Dippy the diplodocus and enjoyed lots of dinosaur small world play. We had a little explore around town and had a bit of spontaneous water play which the children loved. Visited the library twice and borrowed new books, had a great game of ‘hide the duck’ for world book day and explored some of our favourite books. The kids looked amazing in their costumes and had a really fun day.
The dragons came out for St David’s day and the children have all been fascinated to see how big our mushrooms have grown in the past 5 days. Very fun week. I hope they enjoyed it as much as I did 😂
