Grumpy swans



We had a walk to the duck pond today. The children enjoyed running through the woods. We found some sticks which they gathered and brought back. This provided an opportunity for counting and talking about 'more or less'.


The children fed the ducks with bread, eating some as they went along. Luckily we always take fresh bread with us for this reason! We do feed the children, honestly :-)

Maggie came with us and was in a playful mood! She ran towards the pond and encountered two swans, who hissed very loudly at her! I've never seen her move so quickly, running back towards me and standing by my side. This made the children laugh and we all decided that the swans were feeling 'grumpy' today.

On our way back home, we spotted some daffodils, catkins and even a daisy growing in the grass.
