Spring is in the Air!

Even though it is still quite cold the children are eager and longing to spend time outdoors.They seem to have an inner urge,like all the little animals and plants in our natural environment ,to run and enjoy the  joys of Spring.It is wonderful to see them play and enjoy their made up games in the garden,making their own rules and regulations.School work has progressed so well at this stage and we look forward to inviting Mums and Dads in to observe next term. Project work on the continents is a big favourite and we all learned a great deal from each other while finding out about the animals of Asia…amazing projects about Bactrian camels, Indian elephants,komodo dragons,peacocks,pandas Bengal tigers and orangutans!Tadhg  also did a wonderful project on a Chinese child..We have now moved to Australia  and have been reading some lovely stories about kangaroos,dingoes, wallabies and even Tasmanian Devil..much fun ahead..!Easter holidays and I am off to Yellowknife, N.Terretories, Canada !I hope to see some interesting wildlife and will have much to share with the children when I get back!
