We started the day by watching a clip about Autumn and
talking about the things we could see, particularly focusing on the colours,
red, yellow, gold, orange and brown.
We looked at some other photographs too
and then talked about some Autumn words to describe the leaves: rustling,
crunchy, tumbling, dropping, spinning, turning, swirling, falling, whirling and
golden. We then went to visit our field. While we were there we were looking
for Autumn things so that we could use our Autumn words and colours.
We soon
found leaves of all shades and blackberries that Mrs Eyles carefully picked so
we could take them back for snack. We spotted ash keys, a snail, apples,
mistletoe growing on the tree, red berries, black berries and even a dragonfly!
We found twisted leaves too. We felt the wind on our faces, and listened to the
leaves rustling in the trees before pretending to be leaves, swirling and
twirling and whirling and dropping. We realised that we had used all our Autumn
words while we were out. We played with the sycamore seeds, spotted ants and
walked through the crunchy leaves on the way back too. What a lovely outing
together.
