Daffodils in our Park and Garden

The children are loving the bright Daffodils in the park and our garden at the moment.

Our Daffodils

We have been reading the Poem by William Wordsworth about the lively dancing Daffodils, we decided to make beautiful pictures of them for a display to brighten up out playroom.

William Wordsworth Poem

I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o’er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

The poem is about being one who is close to nature and enjoys in its company and never feel sad or lonely. Nature is the greatest gift or blessing to mankind. It has the power to heal our miseries, learn and make us lively again.

We decided to look around the garden and find different shapes and frozen solid items.

While we were looking for frozen areas around the garden, Fearne found:

Theo copied Fearne, looking around and found:

Its lovely to find winter treasures in our garden! What have you got growing or freezing in your garden this winter?
