Our Global Studies group has wrapped up an exciting journey exploring England! Throughout their studies, everyone had the opportunity to discover famous landmarks, landscapes, foods, sports, actors, and movies filmed in England. The group enjoyed learning fun facts and exploring the many things that make the country unique.

To finish our adventure, the group chose an English favourite to make together: crumpets! Everyone took part in preparing and cooking them before sitting down to enjoy the tasty results.

If you could travel anywhere for the food, where would you go?

DIY or store-bought? We’ll take DIY every time.
Cale crafted a custom welcome sign and entry wreath to add a personal touch to the front door. Nothing beats seeing a project go from a table full of supplies to hanging right at the entrance.

Are you team handmade decor or store-bought when it comes to fall projects?
