Spring is Here!

Spring is in the air!Just like the little lambs romping around the fields,the children are ready and eager to run and play outside again!January was particularly wet and cold but over the past few days,there has been a break in that awful weather and we are outdoors again.Climbing trees in the orchard,playing “old fashioned” ball games like “Banana banana who has the ball”and little walks down our lane! Its all a big adventure as nature unfolds its secrets and awakens once again!We have looked at the buds on the trees and the children can now identify the sycamore,beech and ash!Our first spring flowers are appearing and we eagerly wait for more to awaken from that long winter sleep.All are captivated by the “frogs story” as they make their way back to their pond for mating.Soon we will plant our seeds for the garden but for now there is plenty to do both inside and outside the classroom!
