All About Winter – KS1 Topic Booklet, 5-6 Lessons

All About Winter: KS1 science and topic booklet, 21 pages, 5-6 lessons, no prep.

What does winter do to nature? Why do we wear warm clothes? Where do hedgehogs go? This 21-page pupil booklet for Year 2-3 (also suitable for Year 1) takes the class through the cold season with discussion, outdoor observation, a simple experiment, a winter story and plenty of drawing, counting and colouring.

What’s inside (21 A4 pages):

• Signs of winter: class discussion with a picture to colour, then an outdoor pairs activity
• Winter clothes: colour by letter, three mazes and match the pairs
• Salt on the roads: a simple melting experiment
• Count the winter things
• Winter story: Henry Hedgehog looks for a winter den (two pages), with an easy and a harder word search
• Winter birds: outdoor bird count and two dot-to-dots
• Snowflakes: six-arm symmetry, then draw your own
• Winter colouring page
• Hibernation: which animals sleep through winter

How long: 5-6 lessons if you use the whole booklet. Every page also stands alone, so single pages work as morning tasks or fillers in December and January.

Good to know: Teacher instructions are built into the pages. Print and go, no preparation needed. Written by a Danish primary teacher with a Scandinavian winter feel. The pages use American spelling (for example ‘color’).

Suitable for KS1 science (seasonal changes, animals), topic work and PSHE.
