On Monday, the Reception Class went on an autumn walk to The Leys. The children were able to collect conkers, sticks and leaves to take back to school as well as spotting other natural objects such as feathers, snails and mushrooms.
The children demonstrated their curiosity by asking and answering questions such as ‘Why do some conker shells have prickles but other shells are smooth?’ and ‘Who has been eating the conkers?’ as well as ‘What does the bark feel like?’ This was a wonderful opportunity to experience first-hand the natural changes that occur in the autumn season.
