We’re so happy to be back for the new term and pleased to see our sessional friends return to the forest and we feel excited to move back to our Parakeets area. Our beloved plane tree is looking leafy and green, and we are enjoying watching the mummy and daddy birds collect twigs and leaves to make their nests.

In true British fashion, the weather has given us a range of seasons throughout each day this week. The mornings have been filled with rosy cheeks and cloudy skies with some glimmers of sun throughout the day. The children have spotted more insects coming out to explore the forest, in particular a giant leopard slug and some very cheerful robins.

Spring is finally here and we are all glad the sun is staying out later each day in the forest. Our forest is awash with new species of wildflowers and the plane tree is beginning to show new growth, along with the raspberry bushes which are starting to flower!
