Today we enjoyed the Autumn trail set out within the gardens of Saltram House. We had a lovely morning where children of all age ranges (1 to 4) were able to get involved. The older children enjoyed following the map on the trail, practising their number identification and pen holding skills through joining up the apples on the sheet.
The younger children were able to explore the woodland areas, using the tree trunks to help them practise their standing as well as investigating the ground around them while the others engaged in den building and general exploration.
In order to continue the apple and autumn theme we later used some apples to create some autumn coloured paintings. The younger children enjoyed sliding the apples around while those with more strength examined the apple and did more detailed printing.
