Baking bread and a spring walk

We have had a very busy day today! This week we are thinking about the story of the Little Red Hen so this morning we made our own bread and baked it in the classroom. We watched how the dough grew when we left it in the bowl and then it grew again when we made it into the loaf shape. After lunch when it was cooked we all had a little taste. They children thought it was very yummy! 

After eating all of the bread we decided to go for a spring walk as the weather was so nice. We had a look around the school grounds for signs of Spring and we found lots! There were crocuses, daffodils and daisies. We found buds on the trees and tiny blossom flowers too. We even saw two seagulls and the children thought they might be getting ready to make a nest. We managed to find two nests in the trees! We also had a peek at the trees we planted a few months ago and we could see some little bits of green starting to appear on them.
