Beatrix Potter's 150th Birthday

28/7/2016

One hundred and fifty years ago today Beatrix Potter was born, today we celebrated her birthday. We started the day by having fun playing with our gorgeous Peter Rabbit and Jemima Puddle Duck toys in the play room. Then we set to the hard task of baking some supplies for our party tea - we made lemon cupcakes and rabbit shaped crackers.

After dinner we spent some time in the family room watching 'The Tales of Beatrix Potter' on DVD and looking through some of her beautiful books. We also played some Peter Rabbit board games.

We got crafty and made our own version of Mr McGregor's Peter Rabbit scarecrow to add to our vegetable patch.

Then it was finally time for our party tea. We loved our homemade rabbit crackers they were super yummy. It was lots of fun decorating our 'Mr McGregor's Garden Cupcakes', we think they looked fabulous.

The day wouldn't have been complete without a visit from our very own 'Peter Rabbit' aka Pingu, who popped in for some treats and cuddles to end the day.

While we were at the garden centre we took a look around the aquatic shop where we could feed some MASSIVE koi. They begged for the food and made lots of splashes.

Today we took a trip to the garden centre to choose some plants for our 'kitchen garden' we bought a blackberry bush, pepper plant, some potatoes as well as carrot, beetroot & lettuce seeds.

When we got back we planted up our veggie plot and watered it all in well, we can't wait to see our garden grow.

Roald Dahl Treasure Hunt

26/7/2016

Today we participated in a treasure hunt run by the local library. We had to explore the village and find the different Roald Dahl characters hidden in the shop windows. We managed to find everybody and finished off at the library to enjoy juice and biscuits while reading some books.

Bee Happy

While we were playing in the garden we found a really big bumblebee. It couldn't fly away, Lizzie & Eleanor were really worried about it, so we made some sugar water, dropped it on some kitchen roll and put it on our bee and butterfly feeding table. The bumblebee enjoyed it's drink and soon flew away again.
