We've had a fantastic February break, with lots to celebrate! 🎊

🥠 We kicked Monday off with some homemade fortune cookies for Lunar New Year! The children even wrote their own messages to go inside.

🥞 On Tuesday we celebrated Pancake Day, with lots of delicious homemade pancakes, and one of my alltime favourite stories 'Mr Wolf's Pancakes'! The boys and girls have definitely earned Star Baker staus this week!

We've also had lots of fun outdoors, with football, ice painting, rock painting, feeding and cuddling the sheep and ducks; and some playdough and painting indoors too for good measure. 😊

The most wholesome christmas corner so far!
I've added every child's name to a bauble and hung it on our winter tree beside our writing station. This has helped and encouraged the preschoolers to recognise and write their own name, and aided the older children in writing cards and posting them to each other. It has been truly special. 🥹

Christmas has arrived here at Country Bumpkins! 🎄
Our little elves, Santas and reindeer have enjoyed role playing in our very own workshop, and preparations are well underway for the big day! 🎅🦌
