Dear Families
With
the change of seasons from summer to autumn the children have been noticing the
changes that are occurring. They have spoken about the changes in the weather
and that it is “getting colder”. The Mead children have also become aware of the
changes to our plants in the outside area of the ELC. During a walk in the yard
of the ELC I directed the children’s attention to the trees that were changing
colours. When they were asked what colours they could see on the leaves the
children replied:
“Brown,
yellow, orange, red and brown”
After
collecting our leaves we brought them into the classroom and sorted them into
colours. We then counted how many leaves we had in each group. The children
were really engaged and each member of the class contributed to the sorting
and counting.
Our
class has also been using the leaves and natural materials that we have
collected to create beautiful artwork which the children have been very proud
of.
Have a nice weekend!
