We are participating in the annual
‘Signs of Autumn Project’ on Twitter,
organised by Seomra Ranga.

Today Tulga, Sean and Diya went on a nature walk.
We took photos, drew pictures and made a slideshow.

#anfomhar – Autumn Word Pictures – Using ‘Visual Poetry Mosaic’.
Autumn Word Picture
Paths like brown ribbons,
A sky that is dark blue.
A forest of golden leaves,
with a sky peeping through.
Blackberries, deep purple,
A seabirds call,
One day it was summer,
The next it was Fall.
Anon.
This week we experimented with
We found it easy to use
and we got better with practice.
#anfomhar – Twitter Project – An Autumn Song we love – ‘Autumn Days’ by Estelle White
Our favourite Autumn song is ‘Autumn Days’ by Estelle White.
We think the words are really beautiful and we love the melody.
Lyrics | HJS lyrics – Autumn Days lyrics
Unfortunately this is on You Tube
which is blocked in many schools.
Here are the words:
We have highlighted our favourite ones.
We think they paint great ‘word pictures’.

Autumn days when the grass is jewelled
And the silk inside a chestnut shell.
Jet planes meeting in the air to be refuelled.
All these thing I love so well

Chorus: So I mustn’t forget
No, I mustn’t forget.
To say a great big
Thank You
I mustn’t forget

Clouds that look like familiar face
And the winters moon with frosted rings.
Smell of bacon as I fasten up my laces
And the song the milkman sings
Chorus

Whipped-up spray that is rainbow-scattered
And a swallow curving in the sky
Shoes so comfy though they’re worn out and they’re battered
And the taste of apple pie.
Chorus

Scent of gardens when the rain’s been falling
And a minnow darting down a stream
Picked-up engine that’s been stuttering and stalling
And a win for my home team.
Chorus
Thank you too, to Seomra Ranga for organising
the #anfomhar ‘Signs of Autumn’ project.
#anfomhar – Twitter project – ‘The Squirrel’ – Visual Poetry Mosaic
We used Visual Poetry Mosaic to turn
an Autumn Poem about a squirrel into a picture.
This is the poem:
The Squirrel
Whisky, frisky,
Hippity hop;
Up he goes
To the tree top!
Whirly, twirly,
Round and round,
Down he scampers
To the ground.
Furly, curly
What a tail!
Tall as a feather
Broad as a sail!
Where’s his supper?
In the shell,
Snappity, crackity,
Out it fell.
Anon.
This is the picture.

We talked about this in class,
and this is what we came up with:

As always I am very conscious of online safety.
No photographs of the children will be used

This is the project so far, at the half way point:
