๐Ÿธ Wellies and puddle suits at the ready kids! Time for a pond extension I think ๐Ÿ˜
Our Fun-packed February has been full of activities inspired by ๐Ÿฏ Chinese New Year,
โค๏ธ Valentineโ€™s Day, the weather ๐ŸŒง and the RSPBโ€™s Big Bird Watch ๐Ÿฆ…
๐ŸŒˆThe children have enjoyed lots of water, ice and sensory play, and Rain and Rainbows have been a strong theme of the month โ˜”๏ธ
๐ŸŒณWe have had lots of fun exploring the garden and sheltering in the greenhouse from the rain. Watching the birds and searching for wildlife ๐Ÿž ๐ŸŒ
๐Ÿ‘‹ 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 ๐Ÿ˜
Iโ€™m going to start that goal tomorrow ๐Ÿ˜‚ Hereโ€™s a big chunky post of what weโ€™ve been up to this year so far โ€ฆ..

๐ŸงŠโ„๏ธ ๐Ÿ
Weโ€™ve been doing a lot of sensory play over the past couple of weeks and have used the weather for inspiration. Weโ€™ve done some great ice play and the children have enjoyed collecting leaves, twigs and other wintery finds from the garden. ๐Ÿปโ€โ„๏ธ๐Ÿง The children have explored the cold and animals that live in the cold and weโ€™ve read some great stories.
โ›„๏ธ 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 ๐Ÿ˜‚
Weโ€™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.
๐Ÿฅถ A chilly but really fun start to the year! ๐Ÿ‘
๐ŸŽ„A few pics from our Christmas adventuresโ€ฆ

๐ŸŽ 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 โค๏ธ
๐Ÿก 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 Iโ€™d be grateful for them ๐Ÿคฃ)

๐ŸŽ„Merry Christmas Everyone ๐ŸŽ„๐Ÿฅ‚

๐Ÿ•ท๏ธ Lots of Fun this morning when a โ€œGigantic, massiveโ€ spider was found in the box of cars. The spider, now named โ€˜Cheese ๐Ÿง€โ€™ 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. ๐Ÿ˜‚

๐Ÿฆ• ๐ŸŒผ Dinosaurs, dragons and lots of books this week! ๐Ÿ“š
Weโ€™ve had a really lovely busy week. Weโ€™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 โ€˜hide the duckโ€™ 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 Davidโ€™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 ๐Ÿ˜‚
