Hello spring! The season of rejuvenation and regrowth. Not only can the changing weather lift your spirits, but it’s also a great opportunity to have some fun, educate your class and produce some excellent writing at the same time.

Spring into the new season with these 7 writing ideas:

Head outdoors 🌱   
A spring walk is perfect for explaining how nature comes to life in this season. Looking at the flowers and newly emerging buds, planting your own seeds and observing the animals that can be seen in spring all provide masses of inspiration for spring writing. Find lots of writing inspired by the signs of spring on Pobble.

Changing seasons 🌈 
Explaining the seasons provides many opportunities to get creative. Spring especially brings a dramatic change, new sights, new life and excitement for summer. There are some great explanation texts to be found on Pobble. Can your class choose their favourite season and explain the changes?

Lifecycles 🔄
