Summer 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 take part in outdoor learning activities and find out how to stay safe in the sun. 

Supporting your child at home 

• Grow some quick growing plants together, such as salad leaves, radishes or cress. 

• 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. 

Key texts this half term:

• Mad about Minibeast
• The Very Hungry Caterpillar
• Jasper's Beanstalk
