Autumn 2 - Healthy Humans

Above is the knowledge oragniser your child has been given to take home. We have asked the children to read through the key words we will be using throughout our Science topic.

Our theme is… Healthy Humans

Our Key Questions are:

- How do our choices impact on our lifestyle?

- Are the diets different between animals and humans?

- What are the essential elements of a balanced meal?

Why do we need a skeleton and are all skeletons the same?

Children will understand the effect of a balanced diet and how this impacts on our lifestyle.

Children will begin to ask and answer simple scientific questions such as ‘What if we only eat sugar?’   

KL: indentifying and classifying.

KL: what are the different food groups.

KL: do animals have the same diet.

Autumn 2

OUr theme is ... Healthy Humans

KL: Identifying and classifying what the different food groups are.

KL: Researching: why do animals need the correct type of nutrients.

KL: To identify bones in the human skeleton.

KL: Sorting- Do all animals and skeletons have the same skeleton structure?

KL: what parts of our body helps us to move?

The Eagles class decided to persuade Mrs Ellis to choose either a healthy snack like an apple (left) or a sugary snack such as a doughnut (right). They used persuasive words to attract Mrs Ellis to choose their side. In the end the team on the left side managed to persuade Mrs Ellis to choose their snack with their fabulous use of vocabulary and chose to stick to the healthy snack. 

K.L To Identify and Classify Amimals by their Diets. 

They will understand that although some animals and humans are mammals, they need a different diet. Children will be able to explain the difference between Herbivores, Omnivores and Carnivores.

Children will use classify to identify different groups e.g. classify animals based on their diet, identify and group animals such as vertebrates and invertebrates.

Children will be able to recognise the difference between vertebrates and invertebrates and understand the importance of exoskeletons.

                                                Children will understand where food comes from and discuss what food they can get at particular times of the year.

Spring 1

 Rock and Roll

Above is the knowledge oragniser your child has been given to take home. We have asked the children to read through the key words we will be using throughout our Science topic.

Our theme is :Rocks and soils

Our Key Questions are:

How are fossils formed?

Are all rocks the same?

What can fossils tell us about the past?

Children will compare and group together different kinds of rocks on the basis of their appearance and simple physical properties.

Children will describe in simple terms how fossils are formed when things that have lived are trapped within rock.

Children will recognise that soils are made from rocks and organic matter.

The children have been looking carefully at different rocks and trying to name them.

The Children wrote a descrition and drew each of the rocks.

We then set up an investigation to see How hard rocks are?

We talked about what hardness and durable means. We then looked at things we can change, things we can observe and things we need to keep the same to ensure it is a fair test.

We scratched each rock once with: 1. fingernails    2.  a paperclip   3. A coin.

We observed if this then left scratches on the rocks or made them crumble.

We learnt about how fossils were formed and what they can tell us about the past. The children loved trying to identify what the fossils were.
