What are we going to learn?
This unit is all about changes. We will be reading lots of stories that have lots of changes in them. We will be looking at how people change as they get older. We will be looking at changes in the environment and how living things change from season to season. We will be looking at the changes from day to night. We will be looking at how situations can change from safe to unsafe and will discuss the sorts of things we can do to make sure that we stay safe at all times.

Some of the stories that we are going to hear in this unit can also be found on YouTube. If you like, you can have another listen to them at home, by visiting these links.
