What a blooming wonderful morning! Our Reception class turned into a team of mini-botanists this morning as they headed out on an exciting spring flower hunt. The children’s eyes lit up as they spotted a vibrant carpet of bluebells and the delicate, tiny petals of forget-me-nots peeking through the grass. We practised our counting while admiring rows of cheerful tulips and bright yellow daffodils, before moving on to marvel at the larger-than-life rhododendrons.
The highlight for many was seeing the spectacular, cup-shaped blooms of the magnolia soulangeana, which looked almost like pink and white clouds against the sky. We finished our adventure by identifying the hardy geraniums tucked away in the flower beds. It was a fantastic way to enjoy the fresh air, learn about the change in seasons, and appreciate the incredible colours of nature right on our doorstep!
