Soil and stone Experiencing different landscapes (beaches, hills, forests, fields). Play in different landscapes - beach, rivers, woodlands etc.
Soil and stone Experiencing different landscapes (beaches, hills, forests, fields). Show appreciation and sing thanks to the landscapes for letting them play there.
Soil and stone Experiencing different landscapes (beaches, hills, forests, fields). Learn different vocabulary, e.g. clay, soil, sand, humus, stone, fossil, river, hill, mountain, valley.
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 Soil textures and soil tests Compare the different properties of sand and clay (e.g. how much water and air it holds, what happens when you stand on it, which holds more nutrients etc.).
Soil and stone Indicator species Observe different plants which grow spontaneously locally, investigate how/whether this relates to the soil there.
