Children explore each season in turn, learning about typical weather, changes in plants and animals, and how people respond through clothing and activities. Throughout the unit, children build key vocabulary to describe seasonal features. In the final lesson, they recap and compare the seasons, identifying similarities and differences using simple comparative language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the six lessons includes a detailed plan, a set of PDF slides for the teaching input, differentiated activity ideas and printable resources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003eKnowledge Organiser\u003c\/strong\u003e is available to support the learning in this scheme.
