Autumn Treasures!

We have continued with our focus on 'Autumn' and this week we imagined that we were squirrels playing in the leaves and searching for little autumn treasures!

The children tried to think of as many descriptive words as they could when they explored their collection. 

Here are a few examples of what they said about the conker:

Bethan - "It's a circle"

Alisha - "It's round"

Oliver E - "It's bumpy"

Oliver S - "It's hard"

Then the acorn: 

Violet - "It's brown"

Gethin - "It's a tiny one!"

Thomas H - "There's a point on the end"

Sam - "It's hard"

And finally the pine cone:

Alfie - "It's like a leaf falling off a tree"

Freddie - "It's spiky - I can feel it tickling my hands"

Ruby - "It's warm and wooden"

We created some lovely autumn shades with our paint mixing and then had lots of fun making colourful leaf prints!

Some of the children were able to copy or continue a repeating leaf pattern, and these children managed to create their own repeating leaf pattern on the computer - didn't they do well!
