During our first few days back at school it was clear to see that the girls were particularly taken by the presence of Autumn leaves all around us. The girls discussed the different coloured leaves they had been finding at home, as well as the leaves which they had seen here at school. Kaitlyn even collected some stunning yellow leaves from home, which she brought in to share with us.
In light of this, we set up some Autumn provocations around the classroom. Here are some examples of the work the girls have been doing in response to these provocations:
Kaitlyn found an image of the leaves she had collected in one of our books.
She also drew a picture of one of her leaves.
Emily worked to sketch several different Autumn leaves. She offered, "If you look really, really close, then you can see lots of lines all over the leaves. I'm drawing these too."
Vanessa, Sophie, Alice and Paige, all worked on stunning paintings of Autumn trees.
Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
Beautiful autumn colours in the paintings girls.
