We have been learning about Jesus being presented at the Temple when he was a baby. We listened to a Bible passage about Simeon and Anna and used speech bubbles to show what they said when they saw Jesus.

We went for a walk up to the pond to see what changes we could spot. 

We also made bubble wands out of willow and showed great perseverance when blowing bubbles.
