We have been on a Spring walk- looking for signs of Spring and discovered beautiful daffodils, tulips and cherry blossom. We enjoyed learning about St Patrick and made some lovely shamrocks to take home. There has been a lot of discussion about Easter- we made yummy Easter nest buns and had a very exciting visit from Jo Jingles.
