autumn treasure

Forest school is full of midges at the moment so we have been going on nature walks an d making art installations out of the natural treasure we find.
After observing the changes to the trees and collecting conkers,seeds and leaves, we have been doing some leaf printing this week.
Children have been describing texture of leaves on both sides,choosing which coloured paint to use and seeing what print is made when painted leaves are pressed onto paper.
Much fun has been had mixing sand and water together -outdoors in tuff trays. Lots of communication going on about what sand feels like and learning to share spades,buckets and other resources.
