This half term, our science learning has been all about animals including humans. We have been biologists. Here is the key vocabulary we have been learning and using.
This video introduced the learning by helping us to think about what animals need to survive – what are their basic needs?
This text helped us to learn about life cycles.
We carried out an investigation to see if older children have bigger heads (and they did!). Ask your child why that is.
Our latest science learning fit in well with our Being Healthy themed week learning all about exercise and why our body needs it and why it is important to have a balanced diet based on the Eatwell Guide.
Year 1 and 2 joined together for this learning.
Finally, we learnt about the importance of hygiene and keeping ourselves clean.
We also concluded our observations over time. Here is the tree in our front playground with photos taken in January, May and July. We discussed the differences between the photos and the reasons for these. Ask your child what type of tree this is and how they know.
Every week, we measure the temperature and we observe the weather. We looked at how these have changed over the year and the link between the seasons.
Help at home: Can your child suggest some ways they could become healthier at home?
