We have been learning all about Autumn. We have been talking about the change in the weather and how all the leaves are now turning red, green, orange and brown and falling from the trees. The children even made an autumn tree with their painted footprints which was very messy and lots of fun. The children have been making Autumn pictures with glue and tissue paper. They have enjoyed going on a walk and collecting lots of leaves which they had great fun playing with in the garden. The children have also been exploring conkers in a large tray using scoops and tongs to help improve fine motor skills. Some of the parents and children made scarecrows at home as Sam our scarecrow was feeling lonely. The results were fantastic and well done to everyone took part and made our Sam very happy.
Recently in the nursery we were very lucky to have a visit from Zoolab. We were learning about nocturnal animals and how they like to come out at night time. Ian brought us along a rat, a snake, a tarantula, giant land snails and a tree frog. We learned what they like to eat and where they like to live. We all had the opportunity to look at and touch the animals and some of us were even brave enough to touch them!
