We have been very busy these past few weeks in Second Class, learning about Autumn, the changes that occur at this time, the life cycles of trees, going on a tree hunt in our local parks, illustrating our Family Trees, and creating 3D versions in Art!!

Fifth class went for a relaxing walk in the park last week to take a break from all the hard work we have been doing in class. On our walk we noticed the subtle changes in nature as autumn arrives, we later depicted these changes in our artwork. 🍁 🍂
