Spring is the season between winter and summer. In the UK, we experience spring in the months of March, April and May.

The seasons are four times of year that have different weather and they are spring, summer, autumn and winter.

The Sun is a star around which Earth orbits. It is the source of light and heat for our planet.

This unit links to understanding what the UK is like and how seasonal weather is a part of this; it links directly to 'Cold places: What is it like at the North and South Poles?'  and 'Hot places: Where are they and what are they like?'. 

This unit builds on what has been learnt in 'Local area: Where do we go to school?' and 'Local area: Where do we live?', which look at the local area and involve some weather investigation as well as noticing seasonal change, and on 'Continents and oceans', which introduces some formal earth geometry, the idea of the Earth rotating and orbiting around the sun.

This unit introduces weather and seasonal change by exploring different types of weather and how they vary across the year. Pupils observe and measure the weather, identify patterns, and begin to relate seasonal change to the calendar year.
