<\/a><\/p>\nThis week the children have engaged amazingly with our Autumn Topic.\u00a0 There has been lots of discussion about observations they have made.\u00a0 It has been lovely to see the children bring in lots of different Autumnal pieces they have collected.\u00a0 We decided to make a little sorting and matching area.\u00a0 The children have been amazing at sorting all the autumn pieces out and putting them into little baskets.\u00a0 They have also been using the magnifying glasses to take a closer look.\u00a0 There has been lots of quality discussions about texture, shape, size and colour.\u00a0 The learning opportunities with this have been endless, covering all curricular areas.\u00a0 We also set up a little transient art activity for the children so they could use the autumnal pieces in a creative way.\u00a0 I think you will all agree the children\u2019s art work is beautiful.\u00a0 This activity allowed the children to explore shape, space, pattern, positioning and texture.\u00a0 There has also been lots of discussion about Fireworks night and as a result the children have been learning how to keep themselves safe.\u00a0 They have enjoyed a range of stories and have made some amazing firework pictures in the art and craft area. The children have also noticed how dark it is outside.\u00a0 This led to lots of discussion about how we need the lights on in order for us to see.\u00a0 To \u00a0develop the children\u2019s learning further we decided to go outside just to see how dark it was.\u00a0 We all agreed it was very dark.\u00a0 This was a fantastic opportunity for the children to use the torches.\u00a0 They had lots of fun and explored different areas of the garden using the torches.\u00a0 \u00a0It certainly has been another busy, fun filled week at St Nicholas ELC with lots of quality learning and interactions.\u00a0 Well done everyone!<\/p>\n
