This morning preschool embarked, on a lovely spring/easter walk in our local environment.
We took a walk to our local church, taking in nature and its beauty. The children spotted spring flowers such as “daffodils” and “blossom” along the way and said hello to passers by.
Following our current topic of Easter, the children listened to choral music and listened to a short story about Easter. We discussed about how to be respectful and mindful during this time.
After spending time by the river, the children took it in turns feeding the swans and ducks before returning back to nursery for lunch and a special ice cream treat!
Happy Easter Everyone
