-Food Chains Famous explorers Weather patterns around the world. Location hot and cold chains. Children to learn about explorers from the past. Children will explore different factors that explorers have to consider: Transport Navigation Survival Communication Equipment Plan an expedition by drawing on previously learnt factors. Children to present work to class and or parents. Children to think carefully about past events and how they would change in modern day. - Explore using senses to carry out observations. - Make simple comparisons and identify patterns. - Explain knowledge/results using simple scientific vocabulary.
