This month Mrs. Shearys 2nd class had a spring in their step as we head into the new season of Spring. We have been busy learning how to identify the signs of Spring around us. We have completed a Spring nature trail and found new life beginning all around us. We spotted the buds on the trees, daffodils and snowdrops. We also saw the cherry blossoms starting to peep their heads out. We attended a lovely seminar with Bird Watch Ireland which taught all about Irish garden birds. It was very interesting. We completed some lovely Valentine’s Day cards for the special people in our lives. We started swimming this month which we are really enjoying. It has been a busy start to Spring time.
