Spring Time Explorers | Year 1/2 Cross-Curricular Medium Term Plan

Embark on a springtime adventure as children explore the wonders of nature through investigation, observation and hands-on discovery. This engaging Year 1/2 unit focuses on the growth and change of plants, with a particular focus on the iconic spring daffodil.

Through practical experiments, careful observations and scientific enquiry, pupils investigate what plants need to grow, how they change over time and the role of different conditions in supporting healthy plant growth. Children will explore the life cycle of plants, make predictions, record findings and develop their understanding of the natural world around them.

Using daffodils as a key stimulus, learners will investigate seasonal changes, explore the features of plants and develop curiosity through creative and scientific activities. The unit encourages children to become young explorers, asking questions, testing ideas and celebrating the signs of spring in their local environment.

Perfect for Year 1/2, this resource supports Science, enquiry skills, observation, recording, creativity and a deeper appreciation of the natural world.
