Science in Team CW

​Rainbows have been learning about Autumn and have had lots of fun exploring our Autumn area in the classroom and our nature area on Welly Walk! We have identified and described different leaves, conkers and spikey cases by using our senses to help us. It was so windy there were lots of things to find, including a bird’s nest that had fallen from a tree. We looked at how the birds make the nest by intertwining the twigs with their beak and looked at what they place inside the nest to make it warm and comfy for Autumn weather. We have been learning what happens to the environment and how it changes as Autumn arrives and would love to share some photos with you!
 
We have also been getting our planting area ready for Winter and have been digging out lots of weeds to make room for our winter flowers. We found lots of wriggly worms and we kept them safe by placing them back under the soil to help keep it healthy for plants. We even found the Bad Tempered Ladybird so we put him safely on our last tomato plant!
