This term we have been looking at Autumn and noticing the seasonal changes around us. This has included foraging for blackberries to experiment with using natural dyes on fabric, learning about trees and their seeds - horse chestnuts, sweet chestnuts, pines and oaks - and watching the trees change colour as they ready themselves for winter. See what you can find when you are next in nature - will it be prickly, smooth, shiny or dull? The older children have also started to enjoy tool-work using palm drills and wool to create autumn necklaces.
