We have been spending the past few weeks looking for signs of Autumn around our garden and learning about what happens in Autumn time.
We started off by exploring our Autumn talking tub which had lots of items to do with Autumn. We talked about harvest, farming, hibernation and some of the changes that take place in nature.
We then explored our garden for fallen leaves and leaves that have changed colour. We were fascinated with the berries that had fallen off the trees for the birds to eat.
We then looked very closely at the leaves at drew black line drawings of them.
We talked about what colours we thought Autumn should be and painted some pictures which we are using to create an Autumn display.
We used some pinecones and nuts to explore sorting and counting.
We had clay out on our messy table and many of us decided that we wanted to make hedgehogs. Some of us remembered doing this last year and wanted to do it again.
We talked about the flowers that we would like to have next year and realised that we would have to plant some bulbs now so that they will grow next spring.
We are so excited to see what flowers will come and have been out checking them each day to see if anything has grown!
We had some 'muddy' playdough out which we were pretending was fields. We were busy 'ploughing' the field with our tractors and rolling pins then planting some seeds so that we had barley to harvest! It was a very busy table.
