Autumn leaves

We are really lucky to have many beautiful trees on our school grounds. At the moment some of them have lovely Autumn colours. 

There are also lots of leaves of all different shapes and colours falling onto the ground. These are lots of fun to play with!

We have been investigating why some leaves change colour and fall off the trees. 

Here is some of our writing:

I saw a leaf in the basket. It was yellow.

By TJ

One time I saw a leaf fall off the tree. It was red. I picked it up.

By Ari

The leaf fell down because it got old. That is why it fell down. It looked green and red.

By Hunter

I saw a big leaf in the basket.

By Hassan

At Autumn the leaves fall down from the tree.

By Cooper

I saw a leaf and my sister saw a leaf. Me and my sister played with the leaves.

The evergreen trees keep their leaves. They stay on the tree. Sometimes the leaves turn colour and fall off the tree.

By Rosina

Why do trees lose their leaves? The leaf comes off because it has a separation layer. Why do leaves go red and yellow? Because the leaf has red and yellow in it and the green goes away.

By Vai

Why do trees lose their leaves? Because they fall down. Do all trees lose their leaves? No, but they get pretty leaf colours.

By Reijeli

Why do trees lose their leaves? Because the trees make a separation layer. All trees don’t lose their leaves because there are two special types. Deciduous and evergreen.

By Safwaan

I learned about leaves. They can be purple and I like the purple leaves because they are so cool.

By Ali

The leaves fall down to the ground because it is almost winter.

By Dezariah

I am talking about deciduous trees and evergreen trees. Deciduous trees lose their leaves.

By Beau

Hi, I am talking about leaves. There are deciduous and evergreen trees. What happens is when the leaves are green they have yellow inside.

By Edward

We have been learning about leaves. The ones that are always green are called evergreen. The other ones are called deciduous.

By Max

The leaves fall off the trees.

By Zach

The leaves have colours and the trees make colours and the wind blows the leaves off the trees.
