An Autumn Adventure

Welcome back everyone! Great to see you all again. It was lovely to see how happy everyone was to return to school after a break. Most people had quiet holidays. We have been so lucky with the beautiful weather.

On Monday we decided to head out for an expedition to look for autumn treasures.

We parked in the Botanical Gardens car park and walked around the river along the Kate Shepherd walk and through the Arboretum in Hagley Park.

The autumn colours were stunning.

There were interesting leaves and branches.

 Aimee-Lee carried one of the collecting  bags and Alex found lots of things to put in it.

The leaves went crunch under our feet.

Rawiri found an interesting branch with little cones on it.

 
Joshua was looking out for dogs.

There was a man using a big mower. Alex was excited and Matthew was not. Go away noisy mower!

We spotted so many ducks in the river.

Matthew found some feathers.

We decided William suits autumn with his amazing red hair and big brown eyes.

Aimee-Lee knows these are acorns. She picked up some for our collection.

We were all interested in the punts cruising along the Avon river taking people for rides. Fiona and Fay said they would fall in if they had to try to steer a punt.

We crossed the river at the bridge and checked in on the Peace Bell. Kyle examined the writing on the bell carefully.

While someone went to the toilet Matthew and William made themselves at home on the beanbags by the information centre,

What a beautiful day for an adventure.

After lunch we looked through our collection of autumn things and made some collages using lots of PVA glue and big sheets of paper.

We had a lovely start to the new term.
