Langley Room

While outside in the big yard this week, we discovered the fallen autumn leaves under the tree. With much excitement, we collected the leaves from the ground and took them back to the classroom to explore them further. There was great interest in the different colours of the leaves and why they had fallen off the tree. As we illustrated the leaves, we discussed our thoughts;

“Why do the leaves fall off the tree?” asked the Teacher,

“So we can pick them up” replied Tom,

“Cos the wind blows down” suggested Hugo Sanders,

“Round and round and round and round and round” added Joshua circling his arms around like leaves falling off a tree.

“I draw one, leaves, red” commented Dougal,

“Leaves, red, more red, more orange” said Ammar.

Thank you to Alec who brought in some photographs of the machines working in the yard next door to him. If anyone has any other photos or real machines to come and share with us, we would love to see them.

Best wishes,

Jess, Kerry, Pippa and Amy
