Here at Cart Mill we know our children like to find little treasures when out and about. This week we have asked the children to collect some autumn treasure. \u00a0This could be from a local park, woods or simply in your garden.<\/p>\n

Our children have not disappointed us and have come in with bags full of leaves, sticks and twigs. These will be used as we explore the changing seasons through a variety of different experiences.<\/p>\n

Today at the clay area we started off using the sticks and conkers to make marks in the clay. \u00a0 We discovered the conkers were smooth and some were very shiny. As we presses the conkers into the clay some of the children discovered that they looked like eyes. This naturally followed onto making some spooky faces.<\/p>\n

As the children explore the clay they discussed their own experiences and shared their knowledge of autumn.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mummy and I went on a autumn hunt and I found an acorn it had a little top on it\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s autumn today and all the leaves are falling off, falling down, falling down\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201dThere\u2019s a seedling in the ground\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201dit\u2019s smooth\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The conker shell and the pine cone made lot of little holes when we rolled it over the clay. We also discovered some of the branches of the tree had little spikes. One child decided to use as vampire teeth.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m using the stick to mark the blood on his face\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cMy monster’s got 5 eyes\u201d<\/p>\n

We hope you like our spooky faces. There are still plenty of time to collect some autumn treasure. So please collect a bag from the main door before you come into the playroom. We would love to see you treasure. \ud83c\udf41\ud83c\udf42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
