Hi there. Why don't you go for a walk around your school like I did around the lake? You can make up your own story about where you went and what signs of spring you discovered. I would love to read them. Love Sebastian Swan.

Dear Sebastian
We enjoyed reading your story, Sebastian's Waddle, a lot. We particularly liked the page about the tadpoles. We have some frogspawn in our outdoor area. Lots of tadpoles have hatched and on some of them the gills have disappeared already! We are going to take some Spring photos soon.

Hi Sebastian,
Thank you for your reply.  We were very excited to see our message on your
blog.  Since we last wrote to you we have made a display board of our
wonderful waddle and put up photos of us waddling as well as our stories
of what we saw.  We have read lots of your books and one of our favourites
is The Lost Cygnet.
Love from Class 1SJ

Dear Sebastian,
Yesterday we went on our own wonderful waddle. We saw some lovely yellow
and white daffodils. When we felt the pink and white blossom it was very
soft and  smelt sweet.  The green leaves on the bushes in our playground
smelt minty.There were baby birds cheeping. On the waddle we saw some
daisies.
Love from
Everyone in 1SJ

Dear Sebastian We went for a spring walk this morning and we saw catkins, daffodils, tulips and some blossom in our school. We wanted to find a bird's nest but we didn't see any birds at all. We want to ask you if you have made a nest and do you have any baby cygnets? from Reception Class Stukeley Meadows School.

Dear Sebastian,
We have read your book, Sebastians waddle, we think it is amazing! We thought it was funny. The pictures were brilliant and the noises made us laugh. We all has fun guessing what was new. We love your website because we are all swans too! Our class is called Swan's class. We are looking forward to reading more books and finding out about websites.
Thank you.
Love from Swans class. x

Dear Sebastian Swan
When two boys in our class were coming to school in the bus this morning they saw a beautiful white swan. We thought it was maybe you or one of your friends.

The whole class walked along the country road this morning to search for the swan. We were looking in the pond for you and when we were searching the cows were following us!!

We went over a bridge and we saw a little burn (that's a stream in Scotland). We heard the water swish. The water in the pond was shining like sparkling diamonds but we still didn't see you. We saw two ducks.

On the way back we saw footprints in the mud. We saw hares racing across a field.
When we came back to school we drew some beautiful pictures.
Please can you tell us what you eat. We really liked the story called
Sebastian's Waddle. We hope you are well. Can you come to see us we are in Longside School in Scotland?
from all in P1/2

Hello to everyone in P1/2
I have put my reply here because I could not email back to your address!

Thank you so much for the lovely email that you wrote to me.
It was beautifully written and I felt like I was actually on the walk with you!
I can see that you have used lots of interesting words in your email. Well done.
I have put it up on my blog so everyone else can enjoy it too!

I love eating water weed!
Love Sebastian.

Dear Sebastian Swan
We read your book about the spring waddle.  We went for a walk around
our School to look for signs of spring.
We saw leaf buds on some of the trees but some of the trees and bushes
had kept their leaves on all through the winter. 
We saw lots of flowers.  There was blossom on some trees, daisies,
dandelions, tulips and a bluebell with a snail hiding inside a flower! 
We also saw a ladybird , a bug and some ants.
We have put some photos on the attachment and hope that you can see
them.

Love from Group 3H

Dear Sebastian Swan,
We went on a Spring Walk around our school. We saw some snowdrops on the bank. Our group saw some yellow daffodils. We found some frog spawn. It was frozen. Will the frogspawn still be ok? Will the daffodils die because it is so cold?
We found some pink blossom in the trees. We saw Catkins on the trees.
We saw some buds. On our walk we found some bluebells  near the pond.
We found some crocuses on the side of the bank. We found sowe sticky buds on the trees. We saw some new leaves on the branches. We some new leaves on the bushes.They were small and green. We have some questions for you:

When will you go on another walk?
Have you ever seen snowdrops?
Who did you see on your walk?
What was your favourite thing on your walk?
Have you ever seen daffodils?
Lots of love from Yellow Class

Dear Sebastian,
We went on a walk to our conservation area. We saw daffodils, Buddleia, evergreen trees also called Conifers, celandine plants and two ponds. We did not find any animals. We think it was too cold! We had a nice time and have made a conservation area booklet.
