Autumn in Nursery
Wed 03 Nov 2021The children in Nursery enjoyed going for an autumn walk yesterday in our school grounds. They used four of their senses on their walk: sight (looking at the leaves that have fallen off the trees), hearing (listening to the wind), smell (smelling the air to see if we can smell anything) and touch (touching the leaves to see if they are cold and wet, we found conkers and described them as hard and cold). We love learning about the changing seasons!

Well done to all the children involved and a big 'Thank you' to Claire for inspiring them so much!
