Attingham Park - Spring 2012

On Tuesday we revisited Attingham Park to see what had changed for the spring. This time we took Eleanor along and we had eight pre-schoolers with us.

Leaves are starting to shoot on the trees

Tyler loves the sunny weather

We saw some cattle out on the fields

Eleanor taught us how to play 'Pooh Sticks' ask her nicely and she will explain it to you so you can have a go

We saw a helicopter flying low over the trees

We saw lots of deer, the stags have horns called antlers

We all sat quietly to watch the deer 

We saw a pair of swans

It was a long way up the hill to see the deer so we sat on a log pile for a rest

Amee collected a lot of pine cones

Thursday, 2 February 2012


We went to Attingham Park



We saw Snowdrops




The trees have no leaves

The buds are new leaves growing
More buds almost ready to open

Even in the cold weather the ducks swim on the river

We found some fungus

Everyone looked at it very closely




Some trees keep their leaves all year round - we call these evergreens 
When there are no leaves on the trees you can see things that are normally hidden, like this bird nest.
