Autumn
- Mark Bainbridge
- Autumn
It’s Autumn, It’s Autumn,
The wind is getting colder.
It’s Autumn, It’s Autumn,
The clouds they roll all over,
And the leaves that are green turn to brown
And they wither with the wind
And they crumble in your hand
It’s Autumn (echo) It’s Autumn (echo).
Verse 1
In Autumn, the leaves on the trees
Turn colours of red, yellow and brown
Looking so pretty,…
And making the parks blaze like fire!
The wind it blows, the rain falls down
And you know what season it is all around.
Chorus
THEMES:
Seasons; (Specifically) Autumn/Winter; Colour (leaves)
THE SONG:
The changing patterns of the weather become very apparent fairly early in the school year with the end of summer and the onset of autumn. A colourful time of year in parks and gardens as deciduous trees put on their fiery show. This special time of year lends itself to quiet walks in the parks and collecting as many different coloured leaves – piling them up and running, jumping and kicking them – the final fling before the entrapment of Winter
ACTIVITIES: (As above, plus…)
There are a number of activities covering a range of areas on this theme including Art/Craft, Mathematics, Langauage development and games housed in the MEMBERS CONTENT area of this web page.
As an example: Art/Craft: Collecting leaves and making collage pictures, printing with the variety of leaf shapes in paint and ink, using the stems and twigs for the outline, using the colours of the leaves to fill in the picture are age old favorites.
