LIVING & NON-LIVING NATURE
Children begin by exploring the idea of nature and discovering that the natural world includes both living and non-living things.
The workbook introduces examples including plants, animals, people, the Sun and other stars, Earth, water, air and soil.
A sorting activity then encourages children to decide whether different examples belong to living or non-living nature.
This section encourages:
• Classification
• Observation
• Scientific thinking
• Understanding the natural world
• Vocabulary development
THE SUN, EARTH & MOON
Children are introduced to three important celestial bodies through simple facts and activities.
They discover that the Sun is a star and provides Earth with light and warmth.
Children are also introduced to Earth as the planet that supports life and to the Moon as a celestial body that is smaller than Earth and orbits it.
Activities include:
• Questions
• Yes/No choices
• Writing answers
• Drawing
• Colouring
THE FOUR SEASONS
Children explore changes in nature throughout the year and learn the four seasons:
• Spring
• Summer
• Autumn
• Winter
They trace seasonal words, identify the correct season from pictures and write the names of the seasons.
The workbook then expands the topic by introducing the months belonging to each season.
SEASONS & MONTHS
Children explore how the twelve months are organised across the four seasons.
Activities encourage them to:
• Recognise the four seasons
• Learn the months of the year
• Match months to the correct season
• Trace month names
• Write their favourite season
• Write their favourite month
• Count the number of seasons in a year
• Count the number of months in a year
A creative activity also invites children to draw their favourite season and something they enjoy doing during that time of year.
PLANTS
What does every plant need to grow?
Children explore three important elements shown in the workbook:
• Water
• Light
• Soil
They are then encouraged to think about what they themselves need in order to grow and can write or draw their ideas.
This creates an opportunity for both science learning and personal reflection.
GRASSES & SHRUBS
Children meet examples of different plants while practising letter tracing and colouring.
Examples include:
• Bentgrass
• Clover
• Juniper
• Hazel
This activity combines nature vocabulary with:
• Letter tracing
• Word recognition
• Fine motor practice
• Colouring
• Plant recognition
TREES
The workbook introduces children to different types of trees and includes activities connected with oak trees.
Children answer questions, identify the fruit of the oak tree and practise writing answers in the spaces provided.
CONIFEROUS TREES
Children explore coniferous trees including:
• Fir
• Pine
They trace the tree names, write them and colour the illustrations.
The page also introduces the idea that fir and pine are coniferous and evergreen trees.
BROADLEAVED TREES
Children also explore several broadleaved trees:
• Birch
• Maple
• Ash
• Aspen
The activity combines tracing, writing, identification and colouring.
FOREST ANIMALS
The nature journey continues into the animal world.
Children trace the names of several forest animals and colour their pictures.
Animals featured include:
• Beaver
• Wild Boar
• Roe Deer
• Fox
• Moose
This activity supports:
• Animal recognition
• Nature vocabulary
• Letter tracing
• Word recognition
• Fine motor skills
DOMESTIC ANIMALS
Children are encouraged to think about pets and domestic animals.
They can write the name of their own pet and draw it, or imagine their favourite domestic animal if they do not have a pet.
This page encourages personal connection, writing and creative drawing.
BIRDS
Children explore birds through observation and simple nature questions.
One activity asks which bird is known as the “winged doctor of the forest” and includes a picture to colour.
Another introduces a wood stork and encourages children to trace and write the bird's name.
These pages combine:
• Bird recognition
• Nature vocabulary
• Tracing
• Writing
• Colouring
• General nature knowledge
PEOPLE & NATURE
An important part of the workbook focuses on the relationship between people and the natural world.
Children are reminded that people are part of nature and that we should protect and care for it.
They consider different actions and decide whether they help or harm nature.
Examples include:
• Putting up birdhouses
• Feeding birds in winter
• Destroying anthills
• Breaking tree branches
• Picking up litter
• Killing insects
This section encourages children to think about their own behaviour and how everyday actions can affect the environment.
THE FIVE SENSES
Children explore how people perceive the world around them through the senses.
They work with:
• Taste
• Smell
• Sight
• Touch
• Hearing
A matching activity asks children to connect each sense with the appropriate picture.
This section combines nature learning with understanding the human body and everyday experience.
LAWS OF NATURE – QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
The workbook also contains a questions-and-answers page encouraging children to think about natural phenomena.
Questions explore topics such as:
• Why leaves on deciduous trees fall in autumn
• Why days are shorter in winter and longer in summer
• Why it is dark at night
This section encourages curiosity and introduces children to simple explanations of patterns they can observe in nature.
TREE LEAVES
Can you identify different tree leaves?
Children explore and trace the names of:
• Birch Leaf
• Ash Leaf
• Maple Leaf
• Oak Leaf
They can colour the leaves and then use the creative space to draw a beautiful tree and think about the colours of its leaves.
NATURE EXPLORER
Children are introduced to the idea of a naturalist – a person who studies nature and natural phenomena.
The page includes a fun Nature Explorer colouring activity and encourages children to think about qualities such as patience, resilience and protecting nature.
OBSERVE & DISCOVER
Observation plays an important role throughout the workbook.
One of the final challenges asks children to carefully examine different trees and leaves and connect or identify them.
This helps reinforce what they have learned about trees while practising:
• Observation
• Visual discrimination
• Matching
• Memory
• Nature recognition
CREATIVE THINKING
The workbook also gives children opportunities to express their own ideas.
They are invited to think about questions such as:
• What is your favourite season?
• What is your favourite month?
• What do you enjoy doing during your favourite season?
• Do you have a pet?
• What is your favourite outdoor activity?
• What would you like to be when you grow up?
Children can respond through writing or drawing depending on the activity.
