Autumn Term 2025

This week in Jeffers, we’ve been using the natural materials of autumn to support and inspire our learning across the curriculum. The children have absolutely loved exploring the rich textures, colours, and shapes that this season brings. After gathering autumn treasures from our outdoor walks – including leaves, acorns, conkers, and pinecones – we brought them into the classroom to use in creative and hands-on ways.

Here’s how we’ve been using these materials in our learning:

• Leaf printing and rubbing – exploring texture and pattern while developing fine motor skills and learning about symmetry and shape.
• Acorn and conker counting – supporting early maths skills through sorting, matching, and creating patterns.
• Seasonal art and collage – using autumn colours and materials to create individual and group artwork inspired by what we’ve seen outdoors.

It’s been a wonderful week of learning through nature.

This week the children have been exploring all things relating to Autumn! They went on a leaf hunt around the school, did leaf rubbings and leaf collages. In the classroom, we have set up a Autumn cafe role play area and a campfire role play for the children to enjoy. They have also explored autumn small world role play with puppets.

This week we have been looking at sorting objects into different groups based on colour, shape and size. The children were given different criteria to sort the objects and then independently decided on their own criteria for sorting.
