World Around Us Wednesday in P1 - Spring

15th Apr 2026

On World Around Us Wednesday, the children have been busy learning all about spring. They planted seeds and talked about what plants need to grow, and they enjoyed sequencing pictures to show the different stages of planting seeds. The children also had fun sorting animals into “farm” and “not farm” groups, developing their understanding of different habitats. They drew beautiful pictures to show the signs of spring, including flowers blooming and animals waking up. We read Busy Spring: Nature Wakes Up to help us learn more about how nature changes during this season, and the story sparked lots of great discussion about the world around us.
