Description

This unit explores observing changes across spring and summer, including weather patterns and variations in day length. It emphasises asking questions, using simple equipment for observations, identifying and classifying, gathering data, and using observations to answer questions.

This unit introduces Year 1 pupils to the big question, How do living things live together in their environments?, by focusing on Seasonal changes: spring and summer. Pupils will learn about how the weather and daylight change during these seasons. This helps them get ready for the next unit, Seasonal changes: autumn and winter, where they will continue to explore how the seasons change, helping them understand how the Earth’s movement causes these changes throughout the year.
