The season has fully turned to autumn.

When we go outside, we can feel the unique air of this season—sometimes the wind is chilly, sometimes the sunlight is warm.

I can’t wait to get moving~
In their hands, they’re holding acorns!

In the schoolyard, the Strawberry class has started moving around everywhere. They’ve begun to play with and show interest in various things.

Crawling through the hula hoop…
They have become good at pulling and walking with it.
I tried climbing like the Lemon class… but…
The older kids in the big classes are all very kind.
Your arm strength has gotten stronger!
They can already walk now~♪

In the kindergarten playground, there are pinecones, but not many other nuts or fallen leaves.

If they’re not here, let’s go look for them~!!

Since the Strawberry Class (1-year-olds) can’t find them all by themselves, they invited the Lemon Class (1-year-olds) and Grape Class (2-year-olds) to go on a walk outside the school♪

They wandered around, looking all around as they explored.

Riding in the stroller, they followed along on the walk!
They even went through the tunnel!
Holding hands with the teacher, they followed behind the Lemon Class!
Found it! The guardrail post feels warm when touched, thanks to the sun’s power.
We found some pampas grass!
I thought you picked up a leaf… but it’s a stone!
Pinecones, and the prickly chestnuts…
They know that the spiky chestnuts are sharp, so they don’t reach out to touch them.
A leisurely, relaxed walk under the clear autumn sky.

There were no acorns where we walked during the stroll. Could it be a poor harvest this year…?

Since they weren’t in the spots where we found them last year, we’ll have to look somewhere else… I wonder where?

We plan to ask the older groups and elementary school students for tips, and next time we hope to go acorn collecting!
