This week we have been exploring the story Leaf Man, by Lois Ehlert.

We discussed her stunning illustrations and commented on her use of colour and how this links to autumn. As part of our science learning, we examined trees in our woodland area and noted the changes we could see. Did you know that trees begin to lose their leaves in autumn because the days are getting shorter and the temperature is getting colder?

     

            

   

We collected different leaves and created beautiful animal and nature collages.

            

 

We also used our leaves in teaching mathematical concepts such as counting, patterns, sorting, addition, and data analysis.     

         

     

In Literacy, we continue with the Jolly Phonics sounds.

Last week we went to pick blackberries from our garden. We have our secret spot in the garden. Here the thorny bushes are overladen with large, juicy berries.  Luckily there are still many berries within reach. This week we talked about blackberries and we made our own blackberry jam. It was a lovely experience for all the kids we prepare their own product and then enjoy it with their breakfast!!

     

      

This week, as part of our Sustainability Topic, we planted our own flower seeds. We talked about the parts of the plant and learned how we can plant a seed in the ground. We realised that, firstly, we need to use a leaf rake to gather the leaves off the garden. We were extremely careful when we used our gardening tools and we tried to protect all the living things and their habitats. We were so excited that we found a CATERPILLAR within the leaves. We hold it carefully in our hands and then we returned it back to its natural habitat!

 

   

       

Our favourite part of the day- The Light Room!!

In Class 1, we build up our social skills by playing together! Lovely moments from our class showing the power of FRIENDSHIP!!
