Hello Spring! Spring! Hello
It’s nally here – hello spring! Some people believe spring starts on 1 March but others think it’s around 20 March. That’s because that date is the spring equinox when day and night hours are almost equal. Whenever spring begins, I think we can all agree that it’s lovely. After the cold, dark winter months it’s amazing to see new life popping up everywhere. It’s like nature is waking up again. Whether it’s blossom on trees, birds singing in the morning or daffodils sprouting from the soil – it’s all fab! And let’s not forget the adorable baby animals!
Spring can feel like a good time to make a fresh start too. Lots of people use this season to give their houses a good clean or get more fresh air or exercise. New life and fresh starts are also the focus of the Easter story, which you can read on pages seven to ten in this issue. Jesus coming back to life on Easter Sunday gives us all the opportunity to start a new life with him. It’s like being born again, because we have a fresh start. Isn’t that incredible?
We hope all our readers have a hoppy – oops, we mean happy – Easter!

Talking of Easter, when Jesus walked on Earth, God’s people were feeling glum. They’d been waiting for ever for the promised Messiah to make things better. They didn’t really realise it, but they were looking forward to Easter. Check out the Easter Story on pages 7–10!
At Easter, we remember and celebrate some truly miraculous events. Jesus died to take the punishment for all the wrong things people have done. Thankfully, his death wasn’t the end. God brought Jesus back to life, which means we can all make a fresh start through Jesus. Because of Jesus’ death and resurrection we all have something to look forward to. YAY!
