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.

Autumn 2

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?’

We investigated the amount of sugars and fats in our everyday foods by exploring the packaging and the nutrition labels.

We then looked at a fast food website. We looked at the nutrition in the food they make.

The children were shocked with the amount of fat and sugar in their favourite foods.

K.L To Identify and Classify the Different Food Groups.

K.L To Identify Different Food Groups and their importance to us Being healthy Humans.

12/11/2024 Today, the children had a visit from Colin, who works for Burnley Football Club.  He came into school to remind us how important it is to look after our teeth. The progrmme of study is called GULP which stand for 'GIVE UP LOVING POP' He taught us lots of infomration about what affects the health of our teeth and how we can look after them in the best way.   This also links to our current unit of study in Science and DT which is all about healthy humans and animals. It was very interesting and the children learnt lots of new facts and information.  It is extremely important to help your young people look after their teeth in the best way possible.  

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.

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

They will be able to name some of the bones in the body and how why the skeleton is important.

K.L To Identify Different Bones within the Human Skeleton and their Scientific Names.

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.
