Why do the leaves change color?
In autumn, the night falls earlier, the leaves receive less light and can no longer produce the chlorophyll which gives them the green color.
(Demonstration of the presence of chlorophyll: rub a piece of tree leaf on white paper or observe the spinach cooking water)
-
Why do leaves fall in autumn?
Due to the lack of light, the tree produces a thin layer of cork at the point of attachment of the leaf, which makes it less solid. With the wind and frosts, the leaves break off and fall.
-
Why do trees lose their leaves?
Tree leaves need a lot of water to live. when they have fallen, the tree can save water and live in slow motion, without drying out, especially when the ground is frozen. Deciduous trees lose their leaves every year.
-
What happens to fallen leaves?
They decompose - potting soil/humus
Oral comprehension questions:
- What gives the green color to the leaves?
-Why can the leaves no longer produce chlorophyll in autumn?
-What happens then?
- What causes leaf drop?
-Why does the tree save water when its leaves have fallen?
What is Autumn?
what the children think
-
There are leaves that change color.
-
The leaves are falling.
-
Leaves fly away.
-
The leaves fall to the ground on their own.
-
When there is a lot of wind, the leaves can fly away.
-
Autumn i is cold, the leaves are falling in the fall.
-
The wind i pushes the leaves.
-
The wind is blowing and the leaves are falling.
-
When it's autumn, it's cold and the leaves tear off.
-
The earth flies away and goes away in the eyes of children.
-
When you can't see the leaves and you walk on them, it goes crrrrrac.
Poetry
The apple and the snail
Charles VILDRAC
Pedagogical exploitation
There was an apple,
At the top of an apple tree;
A gust of autumn wind
Made her fall on the meadow.
(show the sky then the ground)
Apple, apple, did you hurt yourself?
(shaking hands)
- My chin is marmalade
(finger on chin)
The split nose and the poached eye!
(finger to nose then fist to eye)
Nursery rhyme: A little man sitting on an apple...
A little guy
Sitting on an apple.
The apple tumbles.
The little guy flies away
On the roof of the school.
Preparation sheet

Painting and photography
The students make a sponge background on the drawing paper.
Material :
-
heavy-duty sponges (with large holes) cut into 6 pieces
-
trays of paint in autumn colors (yellow red orange brown)
-
drawing paper white large format
The teacher takes photos of the children.
In the courtyard, a bench is placed in front of a shrub. Two children sit under a transparent umbrella and look at each other.

Decorative graphics
Material :
-
wide tip markers
-
leaf silhouette
inside the silhouette, outline the leaf, changing color with each outline.
An outing in the forest
At least twice in the school year (in autumn and at the end of spring) to collect as much information as possible
Link to the project
wild fruits
Fall outing:
-
Discovery tour/treasure hunt. This is the first session on the subject. -> children pick up anything and everything.
Back in class, you have to sort it out.
-
What did we find? sorting - classification
flowers, poppy, chestnut, walnut, dandelion, maple, roudoudou...
-
What is a fruit?
What do all these things have in common? -> they all have seeds
to prove it, we will plant (to help with germination, put them in the cold (fridge) before planting)
A fruit is something that contains one or more seeds
-
Are they dangerous? literature search
-
How is a fruit formed?
Transformation of a flower into a fruit. In the spring, observation of the evolution of the cherry tree.
-
What is the role of wild fruits?
They are used for the dissemination of the species (transport by animals)
-
What do we eat in...?
the carrot -> root
the bean -> fruit or seed
onion/endive -> bud
rhubarb -> petiole (part of the stem)
