In Nursery we have been learning all about the season ‘Autumn’.

We have been looking at changes in our environment and have been on an Autumn walk around our school grounds. We have also been collecting Autumn objects and bringing them in, in our Autumn collections bag. We have been using all our senses to explore the Autumn objects and have created an Autumn investigation area in Nursery.

We have also created lots of Autumn pictures and made leaf crowns with the leaves we found on our walk.
