21.01.2022 The Autumn season is a wonderful time for collecting beautifully shaped leaves, sticks, tree seeds, and discovering mud and puddles. Despite being a lot colder and windier, the colours of Autumn can be truly unique and inspire the creative artist in each of us. Are you able to go on a hunt for some exciting finds of nature around your home, what will you make? Do you like to find leaves on your walk and crunch them under your shoe? Can you stand under a tree and catch the le...aves that fall before they hit the ground? Can you find a big puddle of water and jump in it so that the splashes reach up to your knees?

We are learning about the changes that occur when the season changes from summer to autumn.

Will your car be one that suits a person who likes to drive alone, really fast, and then go shopping in the mall? Will your car be one that flies through clouds and gets its energy from the sun? Or. Will your car be able to drive on land and under the sea, with . ?? We absolutely love and treasure our imaginations.
