I love the idea of keeping a seasonal notice board and keeping it up to date with events occurring in each season. I also agree that many lessons covering this topic gives the children more opportunities to work outside which my group also love doing.
The topic I choose to examine was ‘One year on Earth’, with a special focus on the understanding of the various seasons we experience. To begin with, I would explore the prior knowledge and experience the children have of each season. From sequencing seasonal activities through visuals aids, examining what each season offers us through talk and discussion, to keeping a seasonal record diary in the junior end to fully explore what the seasons have to offer. In the senior end I would focus on why these changes occur and how Earth’s movements impact these events by exploring the differences in various countries. Using the resources on the ESA website to support these lessons would be hugely beneficial. These resources offer a lovely range of practical and visual aids for the students to gain more knowledge of this topic. I especially love the Earth observation satellites that can monitor the seasonal changes on Earth from space.
