Where does my
food go?
Music
In small groups, children will
compose ‘The digestion story’
using percussion instruments. They
will consider well known ‘food
songs’- learning and performing
their own composition.
Maths
Children will recognise the place value of each digit in a
four-digit number (thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones).
They will order, round and compare numbers beyond 1000.
Using lengths of different digestive organs, children will
solve number and practical problems. They will calculate
time taken for food to travel through the digestive system.
Science and DT
In Science, children will be describing the route of
food and how it travels through the human body.
They will explain how each part of the digestive
system works in humans.
In Design & Technology, a healthy food product will
be designed by the children, after analysing fooddescribing its appearance, smell, taste and texture.
They will understand the needs and preferences of
consumers.
PE
read Roman numerals to 100 (I to C) and know that
over time, the numeral system changed to include the concept of zero and
place value.

Church as a community of believers from all races
and nationalities.
