Spring Awakening: A Reading Adventure

Introduction

As the days become warmer and nature begins to bloom, spring invites us to awaken our senses and explore the world around us. In today’s lesson, we will open the doors to the enchanting season of spring through the magic of reading. Grab your coats and wellies, because we are about to embark on a vibrant journey!

The Hook: A Spring Treasure Hunt

Activity: Gather Your Spring Scavenger Hunt List

Before we dive into our reading materials, let’s set the scene with a unique Spring Scavenger Hunt. You'll need to:

  1. Team Up: Pair up with a classmate.

  2. List Your Finds: Have a look around our classroom or the school grounds and see how many of the following items you can find:

    • A budding flower
    • A fluttering butterfly
    • Fresh green leaves
    • The sound of chirping birds
    • A patch of grass
    • A cloud in the sky

  3. Gather Words: Write down any descriptive words that come to mind as you explore—think about colours, scents, and sensations.

Transition to Reading

Once you’ve completed your treasure hunt, we’ll gather back in the classroom and share our findings. Discussing what you discovered will help us connect to the themes of growth, renewal, and beauty—key concepts we will encounter in our reading today.
