The children in Beesley Class have been exploring the seasonal changes of Autumn. The children went on an Autumn walk around the school environment to look for signs of Autumn. Before we went on our walk we had to get ready by putting our coats on. We then explored around and found lots of leaves on the ground, some acorns and some berries on bushes near Forest School. We had a photograph infront of our class tree (something which we will be doing across all the seasons to look closely at the changes).
After our Autumn walk the children used some of the Autumn treasures we collected to make some Autumnal Artwork including; leaf printing, leaf rubbing and transient art. We had lots of fun!
