The season has changed and Pre-school have noticed that the colours of the trees have changed and the leaves are falling.

We have been exploring different Autumn materials such as pinecones, conkers and different sized leaves. All the children loved making prints with the leaves in the Autumnal coloured paints and enjoyed rolling the conkers and getting their hands in the paint too! We talked about the different sizes of the leaves and noticed that some were big and some were small and how they were different in colour and texture.
