The Kits have also enjoyed learning about Autumn and observing the changes to our environment. Before half term one of our topic stories was ‘We’re Going on a Leaf Hunt’.
The children learned about the Autumn season by observing the different coloured leaves and talking about how animals prepare for the winter by collecting lots of food.
On our Community Walk this week we observed the different coloured leaves we could find. We looked at the trees around us and at leaves that had fallen from the branches. The children spotted some red, green, yellow, brown, and some with yellow speckles on them.
In the Outdoor Learning Environment the Kits loved making leaf soup using several pots, water, scoops, and leaves, stirring and transferring their soup from one pot to another. The Kits also used magnifying glasses to observe all the natural objects with bugs in the tuff tray. We discussed where conkers come from while adding the conkers and pine cones to the small containers. The children then practised counting how many they had found.
