This ‘Seasonal Changes (Autumn and Winter)’ unit will teach your class about the four seasons, with a particular focus on autumn and winter.
Children will learn what the word weather means and find out how different types of weather can be measured.
Children will use a class weather station to observe, measure and record the weather across the seasons. They will also observe changes across the seasons by exploring the signs of autumn and winter through nature and wildlife. A range of learning activities are used in this unit including observation, discussion and learning outside.
Children also work scientifically by collecting, recording and interpreting simple data.
