Autumn learning

Autumn is a wonderful season for outdoor learning experiences. The changing colour of the autumn leaves is a great opportunity for exploring science, art and literacy with young children.

This month we have encouraged the children to look carefully at leaves, discovering their different shapes. Can they find out which trees they come from? Do all trees lose their leaves? We have also identified different autumn colours, and tried mixing paints indoors to match them. We have used the leaves gathered to make leaf-print paintings and table decorations.

Making a den, making shapes with natural resources, collecting leaves, jumping in puddles, punching holes, team work, outdoor numeracy, painting leaves and more…
