The weather is getting cooler at school and not all days are bright and sunny anymore – the perfect excuse to get the overhead projector out and play with light, shadow and shapes!

We had an Autumn table filled with pine needles, pine cones, acorns, autumn leaves etc. the children had a great time experimenting with the different items…

Then came more fun dancing in the shadows and identifying all the different items…Slowly adding different things they could find from all over the play space!

And then some fun with a treasure hunt in the garden to find Autumn inspired elements which were sorted into different groups and then incorporated into some great Autumn clay art!
