Film commentary: Autumn
A poetic short film to introduce the theme of the seasons. The metaphor of the seasonal craftsmen will amuse small children as well as older ones. In class, imagine with the pupils, characters in the image of the 4 seasons, Mr Lemon or Melon for spring, Mrs Gooseberry or Hazelnut for summer. Invent the tools to cultivate their garden. Wind, rain, sun, bees?
Often in search of a book on the seasons, this short film is a very nice teaching aid to introduce the four seasons to pupils from kindergarten onwards.
