Sunday 17 October 2021 Making Garlic Bread We have looked at different bulbs, including daffodils, garlic and onions. We learnt thatbulbshave all of the food inside them that they need to grow. The bulb will sleep in the ground until the spring. It will then start to grow and once it has green leaves it will start to make its own food. We used the garlic and parsley from our outdoor area to make garlic bread and it was yummy!

We have made different coloured playdough leaves and put them in order from green to brown. We have learnt that leaves make food and that the trees store the food for the winter and don’t need the leaves anymore. This is why they fall off. We have done some observational drawings of leaves and Mrs Newbery was very impressed at how carefully we looked at the leaves. We also had fun leaf bashing outside.

We collected lots and lots and we each got to count out ten to take home. We have put the rest in our sand tray. We had an autumn scavenger hunt in teams on Friday and had to run around the fieldand find lots of leaves, conkers, seeds, pinecones etc. We have learnt what the word hibernate means and have looked at different animals that hibernate.
