Autumn Investigation As we have no Autumn season in Singapore, the children were lucky enough to have a surprise package all the way from Europe! This package included real oak leaves, maple leaves, chestnut leaves, conkers, and walnuts that had fallen on the ground during Autumn in Austria. We had an investigation into these Autumn artefacts and used our senses to describe the items. The children made connections to the conkers looking like chestnuts, and some had eaten walnuts and pumpkins before at home. While they didn’t use the sense of “taste” to try anything, they use magnifying glasses to look at the items in detail and thoroughly used their sense of touch to explore the items further. Mixing Leaves Further connecting the life cycle of a leaf, and the many colours we find them during Summer, Spring and Autumn, the children used their senses to mix paint together to make colourful leaves. They used descriptive language to describe the process of the paint mixing, and used their fine motor skills to mix it all together. Trip to Preston We had such a great trip to visit the Preston campus to see where our school will be next year. The children enjoyed looking for birds, looking at the library and of course eating pizza!
