We have been doing lots of work all about Autumn! Last week we talked about the leaves on trees and what happens them in Autumn. We looked at the colours leaves changed to, and we made trees using a cut out of our arms for the trunk and branches, and then we sponged Autumn colours all over our page. When the cut out was lifted, we had our colourful trees!
This week we went on a nature walk to the new playground in Trim to look at the leaves there (and to have some fun!). Everyone collected a leaf, and we looked closely at them to decide what made each leaf unique. We found out that the leaves didn't just have one colour on them, they were lots of different colours!
In the classroom we made our own crispy, crumpled Autumn leaves by painting a page lots of Autumn colours and crumpling it up into a ball! When Ms. Keane or Bernie unfolded the page, the colours were all mixed together. Then they were cut out and stuck up on our classroom tree. Lots of leaves have fallen down! 
We also made hand print leaves in the Autumn colours!
Here we are in the park before we collected our leaves!
