Term 4 - Seasons and the Weather!
This term we are going to be learning all about the four seasons!
We will be learning the key signs for each season as well as learning about the life cycles that happen throughout the year. We are going to tie learning about the weather into our topic as well this term, as they fit so well together! Here's hoping for lots of better weather this term so we can have lots of outdoor learning - otherwise wellies and rain suits here we come!
We used the song "My Four Seasons Tree," to help us make our trees look correct for the season they are in. I think you'll agree, all of our children have shown great understanding in their use of colour and shapes on the trees.
Take a look at our amazing "Holiday writing" about our half term activities.
