World Around Us Topic 1: AUTUMN

This is a most interesting time of the year to get out and about and notice the changes which are taking place with the weather, animals and plants.

Get to know the names of the trees near to where you live and make sure the whole family go for a walk in Solitude Park or even to Gosford, Castlewellan or Tollymore Forest Park over the next few months.

We have been exploring our school forest area by identifying trees, seeds and fruits. Using crayons, we have been doing bark rubbings of a mixture of deciduous and evergreen trees and comparing our results.

In the school grounds we collected natural materials. After that, each group chose a spot in the forest area and created a piece of art in the style of the artist Andrew Goldsworthy. Well done everyone 🍁

We had fun experimenting with mirrors to find the line of symmetry in pictures, shapes and patterns. Everyone enjoyed using ‘Symmetry Artist’ on the computer to create their own symmetrical picture.
