We had a really warm autumn last year which meant the leaves hung on to the trees for longer, giving us a good opportunity to study autumn and create interesting leaf prints and land art.
The winter has been quite cold but fairly dry, so we have been moving around a lot in the sessions to keep warm. We have looked at how wildlife copes with winter and what hibernation means and how it works. We have built shelters (big and mini) to show how important that is to keep out the cold and wet. The game Sleeping Bear went down well with all year groups at the schools!
I have been impressed by the sheer enthusiasm of all the age groups I have taught this autumn/winter; the weather can make it challenging but we have soldiered on regardless. I also had the pleasure of teaching my own daughter Eva in Reception at St Philips!
I have noticed things beginning to change in the countryside with green shoots starting to poke their heads up and buds looking ready to leaf and also the birds are singing there hearts out too! Spring is not too far away!
