Autumn walk 🍂

The children in Beesley Class enjoyed an autumn walk to explore the seasonal changes taking place as summer turns into autumn. Before our walk, we shared the story Hello Autumn and discussed how the environment changes throughout the seasons.

The children then went on an autumn treasure hunt around our school grounds, carefully observing the signs of the new season. We discovered conkers, acorns and pinecones, and talked about where they came from. The children also collected fallen leaves, which we brought back to the classroom to explore through leaf rubbings and a variety of mark-making activities.

As part of our seasonal learning, each child had their photograph taken in front of our class tree. We will continue to do this throughout the year so that we can observe and compare how the tree changes across the seasons, helping us to develop our understanding of the natural world over time.

Understanding the World: The children enjoyed exploring their environment, making observations and discussing the changes they noticed during the transition from summer to autumn.
