We were excited to begin our new theme, “Brrr! It’s Freezing!”, with a special winter walk around our school grounds. Wrapped up warm, the children explored the outdoors and looked closely for signs of winter, such as frosty grass, bare trees, chilly winds and changes in the sky. Our winter walk was a fun and engaging way to spark questions, build vocabulary and inspire learning as we began our chilly new theme.
