Four Seasons and Nature Study - Winter

Naturally this topic can, and should, be a year-long study! We are just enjoying a quick dip.

Spring - Feb 3, 4, 6

Summer - Feb 7, 10, 11

Autumn - Feb 13, 14, 17

Winter - Feb 18, 20, 21

We continued with Farmer Boy as our read-aloud story this month; the older students used February to do their Farming & Gardening main lesson block.
