Project 252 Autumn and Harvest

This project ran from Monday 26th September to Sunday 2nd October.

As autumn approached it seemed a good time to do an autumn project, especially as it was a harvest family service at the church (see also Project 12: Autumn and Harvest). 

We picked and shucked sweetcorn:

We made some autumn bunting:

And did a host of Twinkl worksheets:

There was also the annual conker picking, but for some reason we failed to take any photos of that this year. 

Next project: Isaac Newton.

Project 152: Autumn and Harvest

It didn't feel particularly autumnal at the start of the week, whatever the calendar said, but it nonetheless seemed a good time to bring together topics covered in previous projects for the younger members of the group.

The children started the week by putting on their autumnal shorts, t-shirts, and sun hats, and doing a nature walk:

They learned about the seasons (see also Project 12: Time and Calendars), the harvest (see also Project 105: Harvest Festival), revisited the different food groups (see also Project 6: Nutrition) and even watched a bean start to grow (see also Project 80: Plants and Flowers). 

By the end of the week it had turned a bit colder, and the children helped make a stew and some bread rolls (see also Project 50: Bread!), which they all enjoyed. 

Next project: Stuart Little
