Autumn Key Dates

Science

We have been busy exploring the signs of autumn during our outdoor hunt! We spotted colourful leaves, bare branches and even discovered some more unusual autumn treasures right here on our school grounds, including conkers, pine cones and mushrooms! The children loved being nature detectives and learning about the changing season.

Design and Technology

In Design and Technology, we have been exploring how things move and slide! We have started practising our cutting, sticking and paper weaving skills to help us create moving pictures and mechanisms.

Enchanted Forest

We have been combining Science and Maths in the Enchanted Forest! The children explored the seasonal change from summer to autumn, noticing changes in the weather, trees and learning about hibernation. We worked in groups to collect natural materials and we created cosy homes for small creatures to hibernate in. In Maths, we collected natural objects and compared amounts using words like “more than/ greater than” and “less than”. We also love our free time where we can explore the forest, play and discover nature all around us. A magical way to learn and explore!

Mission Display

We looked at Kandinsky’s circle artwork to inspire our own vibrant and beautiful creations for our Mission display. The children used bold colours and shapes to express themselves just like the artist! We are God's Work of Art.
