Gruffalo Themed Day

Gruffalo Themed Day

We love The Gruffalo! So we decided to have our own Gruffalo themed day. 
We set about scene setting our story which would end in a sumptuous Gruffalo tea to reflect the story. Here’s how we did it…

We started with breakfast. The mouse found a nut and the nut was good.

Our roasted fox was a simple chicken casserole. We made a cardboard surround cover for the casserole dish.

We had a fab Gruffalo feast! We spent the day doing Gruffalo activities, colouring and word searches and finished the day watching the DVD. The re-creation of our favourite book was a yummy and fun success!

🪚 🪛 🪵 🧁 🧑‍🍳 We made our own ru 🪚 🪛 🪵 🧁 🧑‍🍳 We made our own rustic cake stand! The 8 year old made a plan before using tools to cut some wood slices, drill some holes and screw together his design.
He then made some fairy cakes and decorated them  to make a centrepiece dessert 🌸🧁

It was really easy to do and highly effective, he was very proud of himself 🥰👏

☺️ Really pleased at how the kitchen ceiling i ☺️ Really pleased at how the kitchen ceiling is looking! It’s been a long process insulating between the beams and putting up lining papering and cleaning down and waxing the beams but our hard work is starting to pay off and it’s looking beautiful. So many people advised us to cover the beams up as an easy measure but for us that was never going to happen, keeping the church as original as possible is our highest priority, it’s a stunning building, why change that? 
Our next job is to give the walls another coat of paint around the memorials we restored and hang the chandeliers central to the arches...then maybe we can think about building the kitchen 🙂

🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️😷🍿🎬 We’re thr 🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️😷🍿🎬 We’re throwing a ‘lockdown heroes’ treat night for the children as a reminder to them of how proud we are of them holding it together during the lock down. 
I made some printouts to set the scene and we’ll have treats and watch a superhero movie. 
This pandemic is so hard on everyone and it’s so easy to overlook how well the children are cracking on throughout, they are so resilient when it comes to change but it’s such an incredibly emotional and unknown time for their little minds. 

So this little treat night is a reminder to them that they too are hero’s in their own right and that we’re proud of the part they play too 💖
