Understanding the world in Reception

This week we are going to be learning about Climate change and thinking about what we can do about it.

Lesson 1- To understand the impact of cutting down trees on the rainforest In this set of lessons we learn about the impact of climate change. In this lesson with Miss Hughes, we have an introduction to the changes happening to our planet and take a closer look at deforestation. We think of things we can do to help our planet and learn creative ways to recycle by creating art made of recycled paper at the end of the lesson.

Lesson 2- To understand the issue of global warming on the polar habitat In today's lesson, we join Miss Sidenius in learning about the impact of global warming on the polar habitat. We focus on the impact that this will have on the wildlife and carry out an ice experiment to demonstrate the changes occuring due to global warming.

Lesson 3- To understand what I can do about climate change In today’s lesson, we join Mrs Garrard to explore the effects of climate change. We learn about some of the causes of climate change and think of changes that we can make to our behaviour in order to save our planet. Finally, we create a poster to promote caring for our planet.
