Soil and stone Experiencing different landscapes (beaches, hills, forests, fields). Observe different soils in the region e.g. in a farm, wetland, and forest.
Soil and stone Experiencing different landscapes (beaches, hills, forests, fields). Sketch the key features that distinguish each landscape such as plains, hills, valleys, rivers, lakes, sea.
Soil and stone Experiencing different landscapes (beaches, hills, forests, fields). Go for a walk to observe and take photographs of different habitats (e.g. the types of plants which live on the hilltop compared to valley floor, marsh, or next to the river).
Soil and stone Experiencing different landscapes (beaches, hills, forests, fields). Appreciate different landscapes and their various gifts e.g. in a small group draw a big picture of a certain landscape and illustrate the gifts/benefits of it for nature and/or people. Different groups appreciate different landscapes. Hear from each of the different groups and relate to the principle 'Use and Value Diversity'.
Soil and stone Experiencing different landscapes (beaches, hills, forests, fields). Research how the local landscapes were formed, and how they are still changing. Children can share this with each other e.g. by a guided visualisation in which the children are all lying down with Eyes closed, and we 'zoom' back in time and then slowly visualise how our landscape was formed.
Soil and stone Experiencing different landscapes (beaches, hills, forests, fields). Find out how the landscape affects what lives in each place (river vs sea vs forest etc).
Plants and trees Discovering the properties and uses of different wild and cultivated plants and trees See that seeds have different mechanisms for dispersal.
Plants and trees Discovering the properties and uses of different wild and cultivated plants and trees Recognise whether a plant is healthy or sick.
Plants and trees Discovering the properties and uses of different wild and cultivated plants and trees Observe how different trees perform different functions in a designed or natural system.
Plants and trees Discovering the properties and uses of different wild and cultivated plants and trees Do a detailed plant study: Spend some time connecting to a particular plant, looking at it, drawing or painting it. Notice where it is growing and how it changes through the seasons. Then research it, where it likes to grow, what uses it has etc.
