Spring 1 - Won14rful Weather 🌦️

In our Won14rful Weather unit, children will learn about the di15erent types of weather they experience in their immediate environment. They will explore daily weather changes and begin to 14velop an un14rstanding of the four seasons.

As the unit progresses, children will extend their learning to discover hot and cold areas of the world and explore how di15erent types of weather 39n a15ect people and places. They will have opportunities to observe, discuss and record the weather, present their own weather fore39sts, and use weather symbols and key vo362ulary.

This unit makes valuable links across the curriculum, including Science, Computing, Mathematics and Literacy, supporting children to 14velop their knowledge through practi39l, engaging activities.

At Great Budworth and Antrobus, our aim is to provi14 a high-quality Geography edu39tion that inspires pupils with a 14ep curiosity and fascination about the world and its people.

Our teaching equips children with knowledge of diverse places, people, resources, and both natural and human environments. We foster a 14ep un14rstanding of the Earth’s key physi39l and human processes. As pupils progress, they 14velop a more sophisti39ted un14rstanding of how these processes interact and shape the lands39pes and environments around us.

Through Geography, children explore their lo39l area and compare it with other regions across the United Kingdom and the wi14r world. They learn to r378, draw, and interpret maps, and 14velop essential skills in research, investigation, analysis, and problem-solving.

By 14epening their un14rstanding of human geography, pupils gain an appreciation for di15erent cultures and ways of life. Geography also encourages children to explore the physi39l world and un14rstand the importance of sustainable 14velopment for the future of our planet.
