Spring: Take Notice+
Catkins and Early Blossom. Taking Notice of Early signs of SpringOnline resources about Spring: Take Notice
Description
Primary 3 have been learning about the John Muir's Five Ways to Wellbeing in Nature: Take Notice, Be Active, Keep Learning, Connect and Give. This week we focussed on Taking Notice: looking at the world around us looking for signs of spring.
We have a lot of hazel growing around Castleview and in Craigmillar Castle Park. We were able to identify these trees as they have early catkins and tiny blossom. You might be able to spot the tiny red flower just below the long green catkin. Once this is pollinated by another tree it grows into a lovely hazelnut the fruit of the Hazel tree. The kids were incredibly excited to find this tiny flower and were hugely motivated to try and spot more tiny signs of spring.
