Y1 Spring Walk to Pickering Park

As part of our science topic, we took a wonderful walk to the local park to observe the signs of spring and discover how nature has changed from winter to spring.

The moment we stepped outside, we noticed the fresh, crisp air and the warmth of the sun on our faces. The trees, which had been bare in winter, were now covered in tiny green buds, and some even had beautiful pink and white blossoms. We listened carefully and heard birds chirping happily in the trees—a sure sign that spring had arrived!

As we walked through the park, we spotted different types of flowers, such as bright yellow daffodils and delicate bluebells. We also looked at the grass, which was growing taller and greener than before. Some children even found small insects, like ladybirds and bees, buzzing around the flowers. We talked about how these insects help plants grow.

After our walk, we sat down to draw pictures of what we had seen. We had a little chat about what we enjoyed seeing and some children loved the flowers, while others were fascinated by the insects and birds.
