November Activities

Theme: Autumn
Activity: Leaf Observation
Materials: Magnifying glasses, dried leaves, pumpkins and chestnuts
Aim: Children get an idea of the changing seasons and what changes appear along with that season; such as, dried leaves and their colors, the association of pumpkins and chestnuts with autumn etc.
What we did: We prepared an autumn corner. First, we gathered dried leaves from the garden and spread them on the floor of the school hall ways along with a few pumpkins and chestnuts. There were hidden mysteries (pieces of a home-made jigsaw puzzle with an autumn theme) under the leaves along with magnifiers. Then the children came and they explored the leaves with the magnifying glass and they found the puzzle pieces and tried to complete the puzzle.
