We looked for signs of autumn spotting the beautiful colour changes on the trees and collecting leaves for our art work. We even spotted a squirrel who some of the children thought might be collecting food to store ready to hibernate. What a fantastic way to end our topic. ### The Leaf Thief [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-leaf-thief/IMG_8285.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/the-leaf-thief/IMG_8285.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-leaf-thief/IMG_8286.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/the-leaf-thief/IMG_8286.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-leaf-thief/IMG_8288.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/the-leaf-thief/IMG_8288.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-leaf-thief/IMG_8291.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/the-leaf-thief/IMG_8291.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-leaf-thief/IMG_8294.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/the-leaf-thief/IMG_8294.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-leaf-thief/IMG_8295.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/the-leaf-thief/IMG_8295.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-leaf-thief/IMG_8296.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/the-leaf-thief/IMG_8296.jpeg) [ Week 2 Wednesday food ](https://howard.staffs.sch.uk/blog/2026-10-21-21-25-week-2-wednesday-food) [Reaping what we’ve sown ](https://howard.staffs.sch.uk/blog/2026-10-22-16-58-reaping-what-we-ve-sown) ![The Howard Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/logo/Howard-footer-Logo.png) ### The Howard Primary School The Square Elford Tamworth B79 9DB 01827 383292 - [Term Dates](http://howard-primary-school.schudio.com/termdates) © Copyright 2019–2026 The Howard Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://howard.staffs.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
