This week, we have explored all things autumn!
Science
We began by taking an autumn walk around the school field to spot changes in the natural environment.
We collected items to add to our autumn tray in the classroom. We looked closely at the objects and created some observational drawings.
Literacy
We read the book Leaf Man and thoroughly enjoyed looking at the different pictures made using leaves.
Art
Inspired by the book, we made our own leaf pictures. We used a variety of different objects, such as leaves, conkers and sticks.
Maths
Our focus in maths this week has been comparing quantities. We have developed our skills to look carefully and use the language ‘more than’ and ‘fewer than’ to describe sets of objects.
We varied the objects ensuring they had different attributes such as, colour or size to draw attention to the number.
Poetry Picnic
Each week we will be learning a new poem. We will recite this poem each day. By saying the poem out loud, we can focus on the sounds and rhythm of each word or line. We talk to the children about how this can help us become better readers. This week’s poem is called Five Little Pumpkins.
Watch us recite the poem here.
