Autumn Fun With Green and Blue

Leave a comment

Autumn

This week the Green and Blue groups have been learning all about the changes in season and weather.  We have investigated autumn through songs, artwork, books and games.

We made an autumn tree and leaf print pictures to decorate our story corner.

Blue and Green group used their maths knowledge to match the leaves to the numbers on the chalkboard.

We love singing our autumn song!

 French

Over the past week we have had lots or opportunities to practice our french with Mrs Branco and Pierre.  We are starting to count and say hello/goodbye in french. Have a listen to us practising our song.

Today Erin and I have been busy using our problem solving skills to make our own jigsaws. I thought with the recycling bins not being able to be emptied at the moment it would be a good way to do our bit to help recycle. We used photos we had lying about, birthday cards people have sent us, leaflets that have come through the door, brochures and magazines. With adult supervision children could try cutting out shapes by themselves to practise their cutting. Why not even try making a collage or transient art from pieces you cut out?

Hello to all the children from Busby Nursery! We hope you have been having fun playing, learning, creating and exploring at home.
Have you seen any signs of Spring through your window?
Any birds building nests or looking for food?
Any leaves starting to grow on bare trees?
Any new Spring Flowers?

The famous artist David Hockney, who is 83, was busy drawing some beautiful daffodils on his iPad last week. Here is his picture:

Here is another huge painting he once did of trees in the Spring. It is the size of a whole room. Do you like the colours?

Why not try looking for some signs of Spring through your window or on your daily walk.  You could keep a notebook of them.

Lots of children have been drawing and painting beautiful rainbows and putting them in their windows. Perhaps you could also try painting some Spring flowers or trees to celebrate Spring. You could try using an iPad like Hockney if your family has one, or you could do it with pens, pencils, coloured paper or anything else you can think of.  Let’s make a Spring Gallery. You can share your pictures on Busby Primary and ELCC Twitter.
