As well as colouring in , painting and play dough we have been learning about the colour green and have been catching some frogs. We leave one in the bug catcher for a day and watch it and give it some water and we do a drawing and a painting of it. We talk about what they eat (flies yuck) and what they do (poo lots) and how they were once tadpoles before they developed legs to become frogs. Then we let them go (or sometimes secretly drop them off at Cooky's Welding Works) so that they can catch more insects as these type of frogs are really good to have in the garden.
The children have also been painting and collecting leaves as we have been talking about the seasons and how it is now Autumn. We are in the middle of preparing a huge Autumn tree with handprint leaves for our Artwork wall. We have been lucky enough to have Phill home inbetween his job change to help us with this. Thanks Phill. Who knew you loved to paint handprints!!!
