In St Erth and St Ives we have a great first term and have enjoyed looking at what happens in the Autumn time.

We read the book Leafman and went on walk to find beautiful autumn treasures and used these to make our own leaf crowns.  We used lots of autumn treasure in our continuous provision for counting, scooping, printing in play dough and adding them to our mud kitchen.  The children used the conkers to make marks and enjoyed tracing patterns using conkers, acorns and sticks. 

This was followed by reading Pick a Pumpkin and we talked about the colours, sizes and weight of the pumpkin and even had our own pumpkin patch in our outside area, the children loved buying their pumpkins and washing them ready to draw faces on them.
