Autumn

The season of autumn has dramatic changes for children to observe, from the dark evenings to the changing colours of leaves and cold, misty mornings. The chapters in this book each take a particular aspect of the season of autumn and provide a wide range of activities across the curriculum. There are chapters on signs of autumn, animals, leaves, seeds, nuts and berries, autumn games and celebrations. Linking up with these activities is a photocopiable anthology section of action rhymes, poems, stories and songs, all based on the Winter theme. In addition there are photocopiable activity sheets plus ideas for displays and assemblies. A topic web links the activities to both the National Curriculum and the Scottish 5-14 Guidelines.
