What is happening to Spring?

The CW children are thinking about Spring, they noticed new bugs in the outdoor classroom, new flowers growing, more birds flying around. They are also confuse about the weather, which seems like a battle between Winter, who doesn't want to leave and Summer who wants to rush in. So, we are all patiently waiting for Spring to show up with its milder temperatures and more enjoyable weather!

Life in CW

After lunch, the CW children have the choice to either;  draw on the light table, make messages, work on a puzzle, build in the construction area, play in the dramatic play area, play games, cross stitch, sew with beads and fabric on a sewing hoop, work on collages, or draw.
