Summer Term 1
Sunshine and Sunflowers
In the Sunshine and Sunflowers project your child will explore their local environment and see how it has changed throughout the year. They will grow flowers, fruit and vegetables in the garden area. They will learn how to care for plants and animals, identifying some different types.
They will explore colours found in the natural environment and learn how to mix primary colours to make new colours.
Your child will also look closely at the season of summer, and explore weather associated with this season. We will discuss different activities people like to do in the summertime and why it is a good season to do these.
Supporting your child at home

Plan and go on a picnic.
Go on a local walk and talk about the changes that have happened to living things throughout the year.
