Yesterday at preschool we went out collecting leaves to laminate and hang fromthe ceiling. We now have a forest of leaves above our mat.

Today we were talking about these leaves and how they turn into soil if they stay out in the rain all winter. One child mentioned that they became food for the worms .We decided to go looking for worms and some children dug in our soil square eventually finding three worms. Other children tried playing music to see if any would come to the surface..

I have also added a picture of our pet spider.This spider has hung under the climbing frame for 2 weeks now . The children seem happy to share their climbing frame with him whilst he bravely seems to ignore them all
