Key Stage 1

Our topic for the Autumn term is 'Animals including humans' and we will identify name, draw and label the basic parts of the human body and say which part of the body is associated with each sense. We will also understand the importance of healthy foods. Year 2 children will think about the basic needs of animals including humans for survival. They will also describe the importance for humans of exercise, eating the right amounts of different types of food and hygiene. 

 

Key Stage 2

Our topic for the Autumn Term is ‘Electricity.'

Year 3 and 4

We will identify common appliances that run on electricity, construct a simple circuit and identify lamps, buzzers, bulbs and motors. We will also experiment with switches, conductors and insulators and investigate how to change brightness and loudness. We will also learn about Electricity safety and identify electrical sources and sources of energy.

Year 5 and 6

We will associate the brightness of the lamp and volume of the buzzer with the number and voltage of cells used. We will compare and give reasons for variations on how components function including bulbs, buzzers and switches. We will use recognised symbols when representing a simple circuit in a diagram.
