Dear Sebastian,

We enjoyed reading your book "In the Autumn". We have been looking for seasonal changes around our school. Here are some of our pieces of work.

In the Autumn

In the Autumn there are lots of conkers on the ground. First they are in a prickly shell. We see lots of leaves and toadstools. In the autumn, lots of animals hibernate. When it is warmer they come out from where they are asleep. Animals need to find lots of food for the winter. We can see lots of spiders webs when it is frosty. It covers the spiders web. There is lots of fruit on trees. There is pears and plums. There are acorns on trees. The leaves change colour to red, brown, yellow and gold. And there are mushrooms.

In the Autumn

In the Autumn the weather gets colder and the days grow shorter. The leaves on some trees change colour to red, yellow orange and brown, and fall off. Mushrooms and toadstools grow on the fallen leaves. Autumn is the time when fruits, nuts and berries are ripe. The horse chestnut tree produces conkers. The oak tree produces acorns. Squirrels have to store nuts for the winter. They are too busy sleeping to hunt for food. The best time to look for spiders webs is in the Autumn Because they are either covered in dew or frosted over. By the pond , dragonflies die as the weather gets colder. Lots of geese and ducks appear.

In the Autumn

In the Autumn it is colder and the days become shorter. The leaves fall off the trees and change colour to red, gold and brown. Squirrels collect nuts and birds collect berries. And there are toadstools. The seed for a horse chestnut tree is a conker. And a seed for an oak tree is an acorn. Animals like hedgehogs hibernate. Ducks can’t swim because the pond is frozen. Spiders webs get dew on and you can see them better. Spiders webs trap flies. Apples fall off the trees and animals collect them to store them somewhere so in the winter they can eat them.
