Year R Early Years Curriculum Project

EYFS - Projects for Summer Term

Animal Safari

In the Animal Safari project, your child will learn about incredible animals that live worldwide. They will explore various animal habitats and compare the animals that live there with animals in their locality. They will learn how to care for pets and what all animals need to grow, survive and stay happy and healthy. They will explore animal features and find out how they survive in the wild. They will compare the ways that animals are similar and different.

Supporting your child at home

• Go on a local safari to find out about the animals that live in your garden or local park.
• Look at animals from around the world, discuss your favourite animals and find out some fantastic facts.

Big Wide World

In the Big Wide World project, your child will find out about the world in which they live. They will learn about different climates and explore habitats, including their flora and fauna. They will locate the United Kingdom on a world map and compare life in the United Kingdom with life elsewhere. They will also learn about caring for their environment, both locally and beyond.

Supporting your child at home

• Use  Google Earth to explore where you live and look up places you would like to visit.
• Talk about places around the world you have visited, or places that family members or friends live. Look at the places on a map and talk about ways to travel.
• If you go on holiday, send a postcard to school to show where you went.
