It’s all about Autumn this week at The Children’s House, so we will be talking about the changes that the season is bringing that the children can already notice in their world – e.g. leaves changing colour before they fall off the trees, weather getting colder, days getting shorter & nights getting longer. We will be have a sensory tray in the garden, scented playdough for printing with leaves, conkers & acorns, there will be leaf sorting & hanging up leaves Practical Life exercise in the classroom, as well as sweeping leaves activity.

Also, this week we will be doing our first fire drill, so we will be learning all about the importance of fire safety & why we practice fire drills – a busy week ahead!!

Autumn Leaves (poem)

As autumn leaves fall all around,
They make a blanket on the ground.
When winter winds begin to blow,
The root are safe from the freezing snow.
