This month we've been learning all about Autumn. We learnt all about the changes in weather and how these effect the plants and animals. In Autumn the leaves change from green to yellow, orange, red and brown and look really beautiful around our school. We used paint and cotton buds to make pictures of the Autumn trees.

In our class we've been learning about soil and what you can find it. At our different groups we completed different experiments and shared our findings with the rest of our class. To help us find out what soil is made up of we used a sieve to find the larger parts. At another group we used magnifying glasses and tweezers to get a closer look at what we could find. We found twigs, stones, pebbles, a worm, grass, roots, a spider and some small bugs in the soil sample. At our other two groups we used different methods to filter the soil out of dirty water and try make it cleaner. One group used a coffee filter while the other used cotton wool, sand and small stones. Why don't you have a look at our results....
