Looking for the signs of spring with Class One

On Wednesday afternoon Class One set out on an adventure. They were looking for the signs that springtime has arrived in Harewood.



We saw our first evidence of spring very close to school. At the bus stop we found early spring crocus and miniature daffodils flowering.
 Next we stopped off at Spring Gardens to see the pretty cherry blossom.
We also found daisies growing in the grass.
 We took time to examine everything closely before doing some careful sketching of the cherry trees and the blossom.




We also took the time to stop and listen quietly. We heard lots of busy birds!
Then we found some snowdrops near the Muddy Boots Café.





 
 We headed down the lane and noticed how it still looked like winter in the woods.
 

 We discovered a bridge and had to wait for a horse to pass before we could make our way to Moor House.
 Our final stop was for a bit more drawing.
There was a big wood pigeon in the tree surrounded by even more colourful flowers.



Back to school safe and sound to talk about what we had seen.
