This week at Nursery, we have started to notice the signs of Autumn in the world around us. We really enjoyed going on an Autumn walk in the woodland on our school grounds. We decided to collect Autumn treasures to bring back to Nursery to look closely at and explore. Before we set off, we talked together about holding our friend’s hand, walking together as a group and keeping safe when leaving our EYFS playground. The sun was shining which made for a beautiful Autumn walk.

When we arrived, we started to wonder about what we might find. We shared our own thoughts, talking about different leaves, sticks, pine cones and conkers. As we started to look around, we noticed that there were leaves of many different colours, shapes and sizes. We decided that we would try to collect as many different types of leaves as possible. We showed great teamwork and collaboration as we filled our buckets with lots of interesting Autumn treasures!

We showed great excitement as we found lots of wonderful Autumn materials. We enjoyed showing our friends and adults what we had found.

Here are some of the beautiful Autumn treasures we found on our walk!

We carried our treasures back to Nursery where we will use them to explore Autumn in different ways. Next week, your child will take home an Autumn treasure bag. We would like the children to continue to notice signs of Autumn with their families at home. The children can fill their treasure bag with leaves, sticks, conkers, pine cones, acorns and bring it back to Nursery. We would love to see some photographs of the children on their Autumn treasure hunt! We will then share what we have found together at Nursery and use our treasures to support our learning.
