Cops and Robbers - What do you know about the Autumn? - Seasonal Change - Year 1

In an interactive and engaging activity titled 'Cops and Robbers', Year 1 pupils are encouraged to explore their knowledge of the autumn season and the concept of seasonal change. The activity begins with the students being given two minutes to jot down everything they can recall about autumn. This initial task is focused on tapping into their own memory and understanding of the season's characteristics, such as the weather, changes in nature, and any associated events or festivals.

Following this, the pupils are given a thrilling challenge: they have 60 seconds to play the role of 'robbers' and 'steal' ideas from their peers. They can sneak a peek at up to three other children's answers and add any new information they discover to the 'Stolen knowledge' column on their own table. This dynamic part of the activity not only makes learning about autumn fun but also encourages sharing knowledge and collaborative learning. Each plausible statement they write down earns them two points, with the entire activity lasting 15 minutes. This playful approach to education helps reinforce their understanding of how seasons change, specifically focusing on the unique attributes of autumn.
