Year 3 went outside and discovered how the school grounds have changed now that it is autumn. We looked at the different kinds of leaves and how they have changed colour, from green to orange, red, pink and brown. We examined the leaves and saw that the leaves have veins.
Rio Spencer explained that water moves up the veins to help the leaves grow.
Around the grounds different fruit and berries were found. Apples have fallen on the ground – we discussed how this is ‘windfall’ which we spoke about at the farm trip. Animals and birds have started eating the fallen fruit which will help them when they either hibernate or migrate to warmer climates.
