Temperate Biomes

As part of Year 4’s topic ‘Into the Woods’ we have been looking at three forest biomes; tropical, boreal and temperate. Using a world map we found out that the UK is in a temperate biome which is largely distinguished by its seasons. The children were challenged to find evidence in the school grounds to prove we live in a temperate biome. They found evidence of Summer changing to Autumn with leaves of varying colours on the ground. Figs, apples, acorns and other seeds from Summer growth. Old dried crispy leaves from previous Autumns.
