Winter is finally finished: no matter what the weather, it is officially spring from 21st March. Torbay will start to come alive this month, as the warmer weather brings people out to the seaside. England's gardens come back to life too this month, and we tell you about one of the best places to see spring flowers - Dartington Hall.
You can't miss the fact that it's Red Nose Day on 18th March: there will be posters all over the school by the time you read this. If you don't know what it's all about, we've got a guide to the Comic Relief charity.
And speaking of comic relief, turn to page 8 to find over thirty classic English jokes: practise them and you'll soon sound like a native!
