  • Spring time in Nursery

    Published 15/03/24, by Andy Mari

    This week in Nursery we have begun to notice the changes from Winter to Spring. We went on a Spring walk to see if we could spot signs of Spring. We noticed buds on trees, bumble bees and daffodils growing around the school. We discussed that it is time to prepare the Nursery garden, ready for planting fruits and vegetables.  The children have been busy weeding the flower beds and filling them with fresh soil. We then planted some onion bulbs as these take a long time to grow.  We can't wait to watch how these change over time!
