repeating seasonal words, naming characters, and joining in with stories Emotions – understanding feelings and learning kindness in nature Motor Skills – threading conkers, drawing leaf shapes, and treasure hunting Maths – counting autumn objects and exploring shapes Nature – discovering real animal homes and using senses to explore the world It’s a week full of crunchy leaves, cosy tales, and woodland wonder! ### Autumn
