Through a range of sorting activities, pupils sequence the seasons and relate them to their own experiences, such as calendar events and clothing choices. They consider environmental changes throughout the year, such as weather, day length, and plant growth, and link them to the seasons. At the end of the unit, pupils perform basic data handling as they create a pictogram showing variations in day length through the year.
I can create a pictogram of the number of hours of daylight in different seasons.
Children use data from a simple table to create a pictogram. They cut and paste the images provided or draw their own symbols.
