Room 8 were learning to write Acrostic poems about Autumn. The children saw autumn as very colouful with different shades and shapes of leaves. We discussed what happens in autumn, saw images of the season around New Zealand  and the world.  Some of their ideas of autumn were: Temperature drops, it gets cold and dark very early, heaters go on, fireplace lights up and  hot chocolate and marshmallow to keep warm. This is their published work about Autumn.
