Fun in the Autumn Leaves

Some of the comments that the children made:

We liked throwing the leaves up in the air, and watching them float down like snowflakes.

The leaves felt crunchy and like rubber.

It is easy to break the leaves up in pieces.

Some leaves were bright like the sun. They were yellow, a little bit orange, and some were red.

The leaves were smooth, and they had holes in them.

Elouise was looking to see what colours she had in her bunch of leaves.

The leaves were fluttering, floaty, and twirling. The leaves looked like stars on the ground.

They were reddy, orange like lava. Some leaves had cracks that looked like lava.

The leaves made you feel itchy. Some leaves feel like plastic.

You can make all the leaves into chairs or a volcano.

Some of the leaves were big and some were little.

We all enjoyed playing in the leaves! It was fun!

Real experiences help children to improve their descriptive language as well as being a lot of fun. We all enjoyed being out in the Autumn leaves. If you haven't had a chance yet, I could recommend it to you. It is another way you can help your child with their learning.

Our Personal Inquiries

Some of us have been working on our own Personal Inquiries and presented them to our class.

Liam enjoyed talking to the train drivers about steam trains because his Inquiry was to find out how steam trains work. "The steam train has a fire and you need coal and water for the steam train to work", explained Liam.



Maddy is very interested in frogs. She wondered what colour Golden Bell frogs were and if they might become extinct. Maddy told everyone in LC15 what she had found out.
"They are green and brownish, but in Winter they turn almost to black. There are not many of them so they are endangered."

We will update you on another blog about other more of our Personal Inquiries.

The Piggity Wiggity Party

We all really enjoyed performing in Diana Neild's latest book launch called Piggity Wiggity Jiggity Jig and the School Concert. LC15 were the Junior School Choir and we had to perform a song out of tune, and a rap. Three children in our class were part of the Jig family and had special costumes to wear. Our teacher was the conductor.
