Our current topic in F2 is winter. We have been reading a non-fiction book about winter and also used the internet to find winter facts. We have been looking for signs of winter in our school environment and comparing winter to the other seasons. You can help your child in their learning by talking to them about signs of winter: perhaps you could go for a winter walk or explore your back garden. How does it look different to the Autumn time?
One thing that we learnt from our non-fiction book is that birds struggle to find food in the winter time as the trees are bare and also the ground can freeze, making finding worms quite tricky. We followed a set of instructions to make our very own bird feeders to help the birds in our school grounds. We used the words ‘first’, ‘then’, ‘next’ and ‘finally’ in our instructions. We all had fun getting very messy! We hope that the birds will enjoy visiting our school this winter.
