It’s all about Autumn this week in The Children’s House!! The children will be learning about Autumn weather and we will be discussing how it’s getting colder and the nights are getting longer and the days shorter; we will making stewed apple with cooking apples – practising skills like peeling, chopping and stirring, as well as measuring, and studying how the apple changes from being cooked at heat – all very scientific as well as tasty!! Then later in the week we will go on a nature walk around the area to the rear – there are some birds nesting nearby so we might need to quietly go and explore, and see what else we can find on our walk. This is a good opportunity for us to practise crossing the road with the children, and encouraging them not to run across the road in the car park without looking and checking for traffic first.

We will also be making birthday displays and practising some mindfulness by sitting quietly listening to the sounds we can hear from outside when we open the windows, and finally we will be doing some Autumn leaf art at the end of the week….it’s going to be a busy one!!!
