Key Stage 1

Our topic for this term is ‘Living things and their habitats' and we will identify things that are living, dead and things that have never been alive. We will explore how animals live in different habitats and describe how different habitats provide for the basic needs of different types of animals and plants and how they depend on each other. We will also look at microhabitats.

Key Stage 2

Our topic is ‘Animals including humans, evolution and inheritance.'

Year 3 and 4

We will discuss animal nutrition, skeletons, muscles, digestive systems, teeth and food chains. We will recognise that living things can be grouped in different ways, classify and name living things and recognise that environments can change and pose dangers to living things.

Year 5 and 6

We will study the human circulatory system and describe the functions of the heart, blood vessels and blood. We will recognise the impact of diet, exercise, drugs and lifestyle on our bodies and look at the transportation of nutrients and water. We will also discuss old age and how living things have changed over time. We will also discuss have animals and plants have adapted to suit their environments and how adaptations lead to evolution.
