This time we mixed some glycerine with water and poured it on top of our leaves. We placed another tray on top of the leaves and pressed it down. Next week we will find out what has happened to our leaves! 
Preserving the leaves
One of our class members brought in some leaves which she had pressed between the pages of a book. This kept the leaves nice and flat.
Autumn
Rooms 1 and 2 had lots of fun last Tuesday looking for lots of different coloured Autumn leaves.
