This term we have been exploring autumn. The children have enjoyed splashing in muddy puddles, creating autumn animals using paint sticks and collecting conkers, leaves and pinecones to mix into homemade play dough. The children have also enjoyed making pumpkins with paint sticks, glitter sand, coloured card and more. We can’t wait for our Halloween party coming up at the end of October!

The children have also been learning why leaves change colour and fall off trees, covering the grass on the ground. As the children have shown such an interest in learning about autumn, we have a little friend Hector the hedgehog (teddy bear hedgehog) who has been joining us at circle time, helping us teach the children facts about hedgehogs and other autumn animals.
