This week in Drawing Club, we have been enjoying the story Pumpkin Soup by Helen Cooper.

We started by drawing the cat and the cosy kitchen where the characters make their delicious soup. Later in the week, we used our imaginations to draw exploding magic soup and designed our own houses shaped like giant pumpkins!

Along the way, we explored some exciting new vocabulary, including chaos, trio, explored, and furious.

We also enjoyed investigating real pumpkins. We carefully took them apart, discovered the seeds inside, and learned about how pumpkins grow. We are saving some of the seeds so that we can plant them and watch new pumpkins grow next year.

Just like the characters in the story, we worked together to make and taste our own pumpkin soup. Unlike the story, there was no chaos in our classroom! Everyone worked as a team and enjoyed helping with the cooking.

In Maths, we have been learning to match objects and identify things that belong together. One of our favourite activities was washing socks and hanging them out to dry before finding the matching pairs!

As part of our learning about autumn, we have been going on autumn walks around the school grounds, looking for signs of the changing season. Perhaps you could go on an autumn walk this weekend and see what signs of autumn you can spot together.

What to look for this weekend: 🍂

• Colourful autumn leaves
• Conkers and acorns
• Pine cones
• Changes in the weather
• Birds and other seasonal wildlife

We would love to hear about anything exciting you discover on your autumn walks!
