ENWC Nov - Fungi

This week we were focusing on fungi.
We discovered

• fungi have no chlorophyll
• they obtain their food from other dead material
• they send out threads called mycellium
• mushrooms are the fruiting body of the fungi
• mushrooms produce spores not seeds

Here is what I spotted - no idea what they all called!

Also spotted a rabbit and a rainbow ;)

The boys found more fungi in the garden

Her is the largest and smallest!

We made some spore prints - pretty cool

Autumn crafts

I love all the Autumn colours.

We made a bowl with some of the leaves we collected

Amy chose some autumnal flowers and made a vase with a pumpkin

We made a sticky picture at the beginning of Autumn and had a go at symmetry with more autumn leaves.

ENWC Oct Autumn Trees study

 After having a walk down into the local woods the children all decided to choose a tree from the garden to study over the next year. Ben and Amy both decided on this one in the front border- Euonymus Alatus - its bright colours attracted them I think!

 Luke decided to look at the plum tree in the back garden.


Here are the notebook pages the children made:

I love our tree studies - never noticed the little fruit on this plant before
