AUTUMN
We collected leaves of different shapes and colours. We found out the names of some of them and added them to our classroom autumn scene.
We visited Barna Woods for a sensory walk and to appreciate our natural surroundings.
We used paints to create the beautiful colours of the autumn leaves.
We visited the playground as part of our science lessons on forces. It was fun too!
