This last week of February our theme for activities is All About Me, incorporating yoga, mindfulness & lots of love!! ❤️ We’re encouraging the children to think about themselves & how they’re unique & different from everyone else, & how to express their love for others & also themselves – which is so important We’re asking families to give compliments to each other, write them down & maybe decorate them & hang them somewhere in the house – celebrate each other this week!! ✨
we hope you’re all doing well, & had a great week last week!! The ideas we’re sharing this week are all related to Spring & the life cycle of a plant, so below you’ll see the plan for the week which involves mindfulness & art – as well as lots of pancakes of course 
it’s a busy week ahead with Chinese New Year celebrations starting this Friday – the year of the Ox!! 
And then on Sunday it’s Valentine’s Day of course, so we’ve got some arts & crafts ideas below for your children to do at home with you 
e.g. by giving a hug, by making something, or by helping with something around the house – so now might be a good time to get the Valentine’s chores list drawn up 
As we will be missing our annual Valentine’s ball, we’re encouraging everyone to dress up & have one at home on Sunday – & don’t forget to send us in the photos 
– trying not to ask leading questions but just to encourage critical thinking – young children have that innately if we just encourage & support it, using a conversation starting point like a particular story, video or picture. To this end, you could ask your child a fun question (e.g. ‘what would you rather have – 4 legs, 6 eyes or 2 mouths?!’) & ask them to think about their answer & explain why – obviously there are no right or wrong answers here!!
