Taste of America

30/9/2016

Our America week was great fun, our older children loved each night's themed 'Taste of America' night. While our younger children had fun with another Disney Princess - this week Pocahontas. We coloured dream catchers, made totem poles and played with our small world Indian Village.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Tex-Mex Night was our favourite, we loved topping our nachos and creating some exciting fajita combinations.
Picture

We made our own Navajo fry bread for lunch, it was super fun to make, we ate it with syrup and ice cream. Yum.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Following our hot dog and pancakes night, we have a fun 'American Anthems' karaoke - 'Don't Stop Believing' was our definite favourite. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
We have been making good progress with our 'where in the world' challenge, this week trying to pin point famous landmarks on our world map.

​To finish our 'taste of america' week we enjoyed some yummy scrummy cinnamon and raisin bagels for breakfast. Then made some very gooey s'mores bars.

We started our Asia week by creating some stunning oriental cherry blossom pictures and then turning them into lanterns.  We looked carefully at some peacock feathers and then painted the tail on a beautiful Indian peacock painting, and finished our arty day by colouring some Asian 'dress up' dolls from Japan, China, Burma and Mongolia
Picture

We had lots of fun dressing up in our Chinese costumes and dancing to different Asian music, we also enjoyed a tea party just like Mulan.
Picture
Picture
We had an Indian curry night, where we tried chicken korma, chicken tikka masala, samosas, rice, naan breads and popadoms - followed by some birthday cupcakes.
Picture
Picture
The little one's favourite craft of the week was making some 'Mulan inspired' lotus flower hair clips. We think they look beautiful.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
We made fans and looked at some Asian animals. We also tried really hard to make some origami animals. They were very tricky.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
We also enjoyed a fabulous Chinese buffet with sweet and sour sauce, battered chicken, stir fried veg, egg fried rice, noodles, prawn crackers and pea crackers.
​
To finish the week off we decorated some sweet mini panda muffins.

Woodland Welly Walk

22/9/2016

 
Picture
Picture
Today was the Autumn equinox so we donned our wellies and waterproofs and headed to the woods. We spent some time looking for 'signs of autumn', the little ones spotted toadstools, berries and leaves changing colour.
Picture
Picture
Picture
But the best bit of all was getting to splash in the muddy puddles and run through the trees.

Very Hungry Caterpillars

Picture

Picture
We found some caterpillars in the garden, and brought them into the playroom. We found lots of things they liked to eat and watched them getting fatter and fatter. Our caterpillars have now all wrapped themselves up and turned into chrysalises.  We are keeping them in our playroom to see if they will turn into butterflies or moths in the spring.

Roald Dahl Day

To celebrate Roald Dahl's 100th birthday we had a whole day of fun themed activities... starting out with 'books at breakfast', the children loved looking at the stories and picking their favourites. Once the big boys had gone to school we set about baking a super scrummy 'Bruce Bogtrotter' Cake from Matilda. 

We even got to lick out the chocolate bowl!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Next we got stuck in making some 'Enormous Crocodile' bookmarks - they loved munching on our fingers.
Picture
Picture
Picture

And for lunch we enjoyed 'Enormous Crocodile' Ham, Cheese & Cucumber Sandwiches.

After school we enjoyed some relaxing colouring sheets featuring our favourite Quentin Blake illustrations.
Picture
Picture
Picture
For tea we enjoyed 'Fantastic Mr Fox's' Chicken Buffet followed by our very gooey 'Bruce Bogtrotter' chocolate cake!
Picture

This week our chickens laid their first eggs. We were very excited to try them, one even turned out to be a 'double-yolker'.  Scrambled eggs on toast for breakfast, yum, yum.
