Noticing Nature
View the Winter Postcard Collection
Winter Village
See: The ducks are looking for a drink from the frozen stream
Hear: All is still and quiet – except for the quacking ducks
Feel: Fingers numb from making snowmen and throwing snowballs
What do we need to build a snowman?
Winter Walk
See: All around the landscape lays a blanket of snow
Hear: Muffled footsteps walk through the blanket of snow.
Feel: The coldness we feel as we catch snowflakes on our tongues
What’s your favourite winter game?
Glowing Sunset
See: Pinks, purples, many colours reflecting off the still water
Hear: Listen to the birds heading home to roost
Feel: The sun has lost its power but we can still feel the warm colours on our skin
What winter colours do you like?
Frost
See: Frost crystal, growing on the brambles making nature look strange and beautiful.
Hear: Robins singing sweetly to stay warm I wonder?
Feel: Winter chill on our skin, Jack Frost nipping at my nose.
What other birds sing a chorus?
Storm Breaking
See: Choppy waves being buffeted in the winds
Hear: Water crashing up on the wall, throwing debris onto the path
Feel: The spray from the stormy water gets blown on our skin
Would we find flotsam or jetsam?
Starlight
See: Stars lighting up the night sky, is that the milky way?
Hear: Night time coming to life, waves lap in the distance
Feel: Ready for sleeping as sun is heading to bed and the moon is coming out to play
What would you say to the man in the moon?
