Autumn Fun

This week we learned a lot about autumn.

We went on an autumn walk in the school and convent grounds. Here we are heading off on the walk! We sang the rhyme Red Leaves Falling.

In autumn the leaves change colour and fall down from the trees. We saw lots of leaves on the ground.

We picked up some leaves.

Some of us found feathers too!

Look at all the leaves we brought back to the classroom!

We sorted them into types.

We made leaf rubbings with our leaves. You can see them up on our class tree in the first picture.

We learned about some animals.

The hedgehog hibernates during autumn and winter. That means he goes for a really long sleep and doesn't wake until the days start getting warm again.

We drew spines on the hedgehog in our writing book. We drew some berries for him too!

Half the class stuck spines on this hedgehog.

The squirrel gathers lots of nuts during autumn. He hides them in a secret place. This way he won't run out of food during the cold winter months.

The other half of the class coloured the squirrel brown and then stuck brown crepe paper on the squirrel's tail. A squirrel has a big, bushy tail just like our pictures.

We made a fantastic display with all our beautiful autumn work.

We learned about some food.

Apples are ripe and juicy in autumn. We sing the song The Farmer has an Orchard.

We finished the apple tree in our writing book.

Pumpkins are ready to be picked in autumn. We learned the rhyme 5 Little Pumpkins.

We performed the rhyme.

We coloured and cut out pumpkins.
