April activities in Croatia

This April really got hot. Today was 28°C and it was the hottest April in the last 50 years. In the following slideshow you can see our activities from the whole month and today. We had fun playing games outside and exploring nature. We saw bugs and spiders, flowers and lots of plants that have lost their flowers now and have grown new leaves. The nature is beautiful!

<>April activities Buczek<>

Here are some photos from our trip outside the school surroundings and from the playground. My students love doing our monthly weather reports as we go outside. We usually go to the park (we have two parks in Buczek) or to the playground. After we have done all the research they always have time for themselves to do what they want. Today we went to the playground. We have taken some photos of tulips, dandelions and forsythia. We also found a huge dead beetle :( with ants all over him....hm...pure nature...food chain.
