Autumnal Activities
Posted on October 9, 2023 | By soyarzabal
In continuous provision we have been busy playing to learn with fun autumnal activities. When using a rolling pin, we like to see the leaf prints left in the play dough. This activity is good for our gross motor skills.
Making Music

Every week Sunflowers have a music lesson and we follow the Charanga Music Programme. We sing along to the songs and beat, shake or tap our instrument in time with the music. We get the opportunity to experiment with a range of instruments and have lots of fun.

Our Autumn walk

Today we went on an Autumn walk around ‘muddy lane’. We saw sheep grazing, cows a very long way away, a tractor cutting a hedge, a tractor going down the road, lots and lots of muddy puddles and lots of signs of Autumn. The best part was that the sun shone for us!

Playing to Learn
