Following on from our lesson last week watching The Promise and thinking about colours and leaves and trees, we decided to go outside in the search for some oak leaves as well as many others.

We really enjoyed collecting the leaves, then focusing on their colours, sizes and textures. We started making some patterns outside, but the weather wasn’t kind, so we headed in and created loads inside. The whole class were entirely silent as we worked on these beautiful creations!

We then played a tree identification game on the woodland trust website and finished off the morning by using oil pastels and producing some delightful leaf rubbings.
