Monday 10th October
Autumn is here and the signs are all around us!
Last week the children loved exploring the school yard looking for and collecting signs of Autumn. This week we have decided to base our Maths and Language around the Autumn theme.
On Friday during our Big Talk / Write we will be writing a descriptive poem entitled:
'In My Autumn Basket I will put...'
When talking about Autumn signs encourage your child to describe what they see, hear, feel (feelings), touch and smell.
For example:
- shinning brown conkers
- sun burnt rustling leaves
- spiralling sycamore seeds
- plump juicy blackberries
Please remind your child about the dangers of picking or touching unknown berries and plants.
I will provide an Autumn Hunt booklet to help you identify signs of Autumn and the children will also be making an Autumn Hunt bag to collect any leaves or seeds etc. I will also provide a recording sheet for children or you to scribe any describing words they use.
Enjoy and remember to keep safe when you're walking.
