Leaf Rubbing
I’m sure you have all seen some beautifully coloured leaves in the parks and streets of England at this time of year. A lovely activity is to place a piece of paper over a leaf and to rub, using a crayon. The rubbing can then be cut out and glued onto some coloured paper or used to make a collage.
If your children make a beautiful picture, please do send us a photograph and you may even win a £15 voucher.
Just to give you an idea of how to do this please view the video
How about learning a traditional English children’s game?
Conkers!! The first thing you need to do is head down to your local park and look for the seed of a Horse Chestnut Tree, commonly known as a 'conker'.

How to play……..
You only need two players, each with a conker threaded onto a piece of string: they take turns striking each other's conker until one breaks.
If you have any conkers left over you could even turn them into animals using cocktail sticks!!
