Richard, the local Reverend, visited to teach the children about Harvest. He showed the children a variety of grains, fruit and vegetables and they named them, compared size, shape and colour and then we said thank you for the Harvest.
In support of our ‘All About Me’ theme, we asked the children for ‘cooking ideas’. The overwhelming favourite – chocolate cake!! We decided on chocolate fridge cake. The children measured the chocolate, butter and golden syrup which involved lots of comparisons and the use of mathematical language including more, full and enough. We particularly enjoyed ‘bashing’ the biscuits whilst an adult melted the chocolate mixture before we combined all of our ingredients. The children then selected from marshmallows and raisins to complete their cake. Although there was a little nibbling during preparation there was enough cake left to be enjoyed together at our teddy bears picnic.

We enjoyed the autumn sunshine and open space with some parachute play. This was also a lovely opportunity to meet and make new friends.
Autumn Time
(Sung to the tune of London Bridge Is Falling Down)
Leaves turn orange, brown, and red,
Brown and red,
Brown and red,
Leaves turn orange, brown, and red,
In the Autumn,
They twirl and flutter to the ground,
To the ground,
To the ground,
They twirl and flutter to the ground,
In the Autumn
