🌱 Spring 2 – Science Overview 🌱

This half term in Year 1 Science, we will be learning about sustainability, planting and seasonal changes. We will explore how we can care for our planet and observe the changes that happen as we move into spring.

🌼 What We’re Learning

We will be learning to:

• Identify signs of spring and describe seasonal changes

• Observe and describe changes in weather and daylight

• Understand what plants need to grow and stay healthy

• Plant seeds and observe how they grow over time

• Learn simple ways to look after our environment

• Understand why sustainability is important and how we can reduce waste

🧠 Skills We’re Developing

• Observing and recording changes over time

• Asking simple scientific questions

• Making predictions about plant growth

• Measuring and comparing plant height

• Using scientific vocabulary such as: seed, bulb, stem, root, flower, season, weather and environment

• Taking responsibility for caring for living things

🏡 How You Can Support at Home

You can support your child by:

• 🌷 Talking about signs of spring when out and about

• 🌦️ Discussing daily weather changes

• 🌻 Planting seeds at home and observing their growth

• ♻️ Encouraging recycling and reducing waste

• 💧 Talking about why plants need water, sunlight and soil

We are looking forward to becoming young scientists as we explore how plants grow and how we can help protect our planet! 🌍✨
