Weather in Spring Read Aloud

Chat to your grown up and talk about how the weather is changing now spring is coming. How is the weather in spring compared to the weather in winter? Do you like the spring weather? Why? Why not?

If you can get out to the park or on a local walk today, then it would be awesome if you get your senses at the ready and do this lovely Spring Senses Scavenger Hunt with your lovely grown up. The link to print it is below the pic. You could write a list to take with you of things to find after looking at the pics on the screen.

Have a lovely time!

If you have no printer, then copy the sheet with letters in yellow for your child to trace with a darker colour and a few lines with a modelled letter for your child to copy.
