Exploring Autumn in Grade RRR

This term, the Grade RRR’s focus has been on the changing environment as we explored signs of Autumn. The children noticed leaves changing colour, trees becoming bare, and the cooler weather setting in. One child thoughtfully observed, “When the wind blows, the leaves fall off and become cold,” showing how deeply they are connecting with the world around them.

Our provocation table featured a variety of items that highlighted the rich colours of Autumn, inspiring the children to create their own drawings in seasonal hues. Nature walks provided wonderful opportunities for discovery, with the children collecting leaves and acorns and even making “snow angels” in the crunchy leaf piles. Colour mixing became another highlight, as the children delighted in creating new shades inspired by Autumn and giving each one its own special name.

Through these experiences, the children not only explored the beauty of the changing season but also developed their creativity, curiosity, and observational skills. Autumn has truly been a season of wonder and learning in Grade RRR.
