Learning about Autumn
We went for a lovely walk around our school grounds to look at the signs of Autumn. We noticed how the leaves are changing colour and starting to fall. We even had a little shake of a branch and watching some loose leaves fall! We used an information book to help us identify some things that we had found.

Learning about Autumn
Following our Autumn walk, we collected lots of Autumn treasure 🍂 we spent some time talking about what we found, and learning new words like conker, acorn and pine cone. We read some beautiful Autumn poems and talked about the rhyming words that we could hear. We then used magnifying glasses to explore our Autumn treasures.

Autumn colour drop
We built an autumn tree using sticks and branches, and then created our own autumnal leaves by dropping different colours onto our cotton pad leaves! The children made links to our autumn walk, and discussed the different colours we could use. We found it tricky to draw the coloured water up into the pipettes but with some practise, we did it!

Cold walk
Even though winter isn’t quite here, the children noticed the weather is starting to change. They also noticed that on their walk to school today, the ground was “sparkly” so we went to investigate! The colder weather is changing how our environment looks and we had lots of fun exploring. We found that the water in the tray had frozen! So we chipped away and broke some off to hold.
