We played in the leaves as an experience to write about.  In our recounts we talked about what the leaves looked like and how they felt.  We tried to use words like pointy, squashed, squishy, colourful, and fragile.  First we made a leaf wall, then we played in the leaves.  We had a great time throwing them in the air, at each other and putting them down each others backs.  We wrote about what we saw and heard children doing.
