A taste of February


And it is still REALLY cold but spring is just around the corner....we hope!!  But winter has it's beautiful moments. These are Winter Irises we found at Anglesey Abbey.  The boys painted some beautiful pictures of the flowers we found, mostly Snowdrops and Aconites. 
A Valentines rose from papa Sparrow made my evening.
When the sun does come out we are out on adventures, the sparrows, if they could, would live up trees.
 The founder of the 'forest school ' movement said there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing choices.....I half agree...

Setting sail to the ships the boys made....

 And also because sometimes good clothing just isn't enough.... inside activities too.  Cleaning copper coins with vinegar and lemon juice after having watched a Royal Mint video on the making of our money,


 Some of our JAM club crafts- Planting cress and mustard seeds which the rabbits enjoyed today and stained glass windows.
