Yuk!! There's one to forget! I hate pancakes, even the smell of them cooking makes me want to heave http://easyfreesmileys.com/smileys/f...mileys-515.gif
I ate loads of them when I was around 5 years old and was very, very unwell :(

Re: February Celebration?
In February I am planning for -
1st - Groundhog Day - a bit of fun with repeating things and if the children are old enough we get out the film - we'll also find out some things about the groundhog (aka a woodchuck - it's quite a cute little rodent).
I made a mistake with this one on my calendar :blush: Got it muddled with Candlemas, which is the day in the Christian faith when Jesus was presented at the Temple and believers light candles / church candles are blessed.
5th - Shrove Tuesday - we make pancakes and there is some lovely colouring and a recipe on Silkysteps.
7th - Chinese New Year - I found a really nice sheet on the new downloads from Sparklebox for this.
14th - Valentines Day - we make cards for significant male figures in the children's lives and I always check with families before making to see what the male is called (or if there is one!).
21st - Love your pet day - if children have pets it's nice to talk about looking after them and make them a card.
28th - plan in advance for Mothers Day, which leaps at you early in March...
29th - is leap day this year, so we'll talk about the months rhyme and see who can count all the way to 29 on the calendar!
There's also Potato Day - 3rd - potato activities, printing, eating, examining closely, growing tubers etc; Mardi Gras - 5th - make a carnival in the garden; Vasant Panchami - 11th - dedicated to the Hindu godess Saraswati and marking the start of spring in the Hindu religion; Chinese lantern festival - 21st - if we are inspired after Chinese NY and didn't have time then, we might make some lanterns.
Hope this helps!

And I've got all the planning from the last few years... :p
