hagley farm excursion

Last week Jasper’s kinder class visited Hagley Farm, and I was lucky enough to tag along!  We had such a lovely day…

Tricky walking over the cattle grid when your feet are so small…

ladybird

Spring is here!  Oh, sunshine…how we have missed you!  Toby was making friends with a ladybird on the weekend…

The Beetles Come Out In Spring

When the Beetles come out in Spring
I want to be outside watching...
I'll see some crawl; I'll see some fly
I'll count how many go marching by
Brightly colored and spotted too
It's fun to see just what they'll do
When the Beetles come out in Spring.
