We have been learning about autumn. We discussed signs of autumn such as the weather getting colder, the days getting shorter and some leaves changing colours and falling from trees. We learned the difference between deciduous and evergreen trees. We named some vegetables, fruits and nuts that we see in autumn such as pumpkins, blackberries, horse chestnuts and acorns. We also learned about some animals that are busy preparing to hibernate and discussed the difference between animals that hibernate in winter and animals that become dormant in winter. We took our learning outdoors and went on a walk to the Phoenix Park to look for signs of autumn.
