In their topic work, P1 and P2 are learning about how the weather affects people and animals. This week we read a story called ‘Itchy Bear’, and another one called ‘Squirrel’s Autumn Search’.

Theses stories made us think about real animals in the wild, and how they use Autumn time to prepare for Winter.

In Outdoor Play the children

  • gathered berries and pine cones for the squirrel.

  • made homes using building blocks.

  • explored the garden area for signs of Autumn.

In the playroom the children have been -

  • Making a cave for Itchy Bear

  • Using their Autumn Shop
