L'automne week 1 - umbrella pictures


After 2 weeks off and a week of lovely warm weather and sunshine on our half-term holiday, the cold, wet English weather we returned to seemed a good fit for our new topic of l'automne (autumn).

The songs which we will be singing over the next few weeks, before we get into the Christmas season!, include the following:

L'automne est un chanson de pluie,
Goutte, gouttelettes de pluie,
Il pleut, il mouille,
Meunier tu dors
Comptine des couleurs d'automne
And
Les feux d'artifices ( of course there had to be some reference to bonfire night!)

These are all songs which have featured previously in the blog with accompanying crafts so please have a browse for the lyrics and some more craft ideas :0)

This week we made umbrella pictures.  We used cupcake cases folded in half to make the umbrellas and pipe cleaners for the handles. We used felt, foam and cotton wool to make our rain clouds and glitter glue in silver, blue and white for the raindrops.  We then added some people or creatures under our umbrellas and added any other decorations we wanted.

Here are our finished pictures:






Happy crafting and singing! :0)
