Little “M” started to notice the leaves that were falling and that they were not all green. We took a walk a few weeks ago and there was still a lot of green leaves and I pointed out the few that were changing. This week there were quite a few orange and yellow leaves.
She also noticed the dew on the grass. She told me it was wet and shinny.
We found something even wetter! A puddle!!
We picked some blackberries to put with the apples in our crumble.
Yummy berries……. several of them didn’t make it to the pot!
We collected some leaves and compared the different shapes and sizes. We are going to use them in the discovery tray next week.
We collected sticks too! We nibbled on them too!
There were so many crane fly’s in the grass today, We crouched down and watched them for ages. They are so silly and bumble about like clumsy spiders with wings strapped to them.
There have been quite a few squirrels running along our fence and neighbours wall. We have talked about how they are looking for nuts. We decided to pick some to take home with us.
There was just enough time for a play at the park before we went home for lunch.
We also had another crawl and run through the leaves.
Two apples “magically” vanished between being collected and getting home……..
