Reception have enjoyed continuing their learning about Autumn.  We shared the story of ‘Leaf Man’, then made our own leaf collage Leaf Men and created labelled Leaf Man drawings.  We even went on a woodland walk and found Leaf Man himself!  During the walk, we also collected lots of autumn treasures and discussed the signs of autumn that we could see.

The children have been reading non fiction texts about owls as well as Owl Babies after visiting Lotherton Hall. We had owls come to visit EYFS in school and the children all had chance to hold a Little Owl called JD.
