We will be creating a stop motion based on the rainforest
they will be using a mixture of drawings, white boards and
play dough to complete these stop motions.
In groups the children will be given a different food
category. The children will need to do research to find
out the nutritional information for each piece of food. This
information will be put into a table. From this they will
create charts to explain what they discovered.

Science
Geography
Classification materials
Health and lifestyles
Evolution and adaptation
Lifecycles
Children will investigate
reversible and irreversible
changes. They will
investigate the processes
of filtering, sieving
and dissolving and the
variables that affect each
process. The children will
investigate how chemists
through the centuries have
created new materials,
such as gunpowder (China,
9th century) and how these
inventions have aided /
progressed civilisation.
Children will investigate
the role of the heart in
the circulatory system
and will investigate the
effect of exercise on heart
rate/ pulse, predicting and
identifying variables that
bring about a change in
pulse.
Children will investigate
the evolution of plants
and animals. They
will find out the ways
in which living things
have adapted to their
environment and habitat,
and how this adaptation
leads to evolution. The
children will find out
about evolutionary theory,
including the pioneering
work of naturalists such
as Charles Darwin (18091892), including his theory
of natural selection.
Children will investigate
the lifecycles of mammals,
including humans,
alongside the lifecycles
of amphibians and birds.
They will discuss gestation
periods, birth and maturity
processes and timeframes
of different organisms,
comparing and contrasting
across species
They will also investigate
food within the context of
energy/fuel and calculate
how much energy the
human body requires for a
range of activities.
Understand location and
interaction of the Sun,
Earth and Moon
Children will primarily
develop a broader
understanding of the
celestial bodies within
our solar system and the
relationships of distance
and movement that exist
between them. The
children will also develop
an understanding of space
exploration and travel,
distinguishing between
science fiction and science
fact.
Gravity and resistanceIsaac Newton
Children will investigate
the governing role of
gravity within and upon the
Earth and the universe and
its influence upon our lives.
They will also investigate
the effects of forces other
than gravity and how that
more than one force may
be in operation upon an
object. They will also
investigate the discoveries
and theories of notable
physicists, including Sir
Isaac Newton (1642 –
1726)
