Talk Time
This week’s Talk Time relates to the knowledge we’ve gained about Science this year.
I can show off my biological knowledge through my understanding of animals including humans.
Years 1 and 2 – Animals including humans:
- I can identify, name, draw and label the basic parts of the human body and say which part of the human body is associated with each sense.
- I can identify and name a variety of common animals, including fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.
- I know that animals, including humans, have offspring, which grow into adults.
- I can find out about and describe the basic needs of animals, including humans, for survival (water, food and air).
- I can describe the importance for humans of exercise, eating the right amount of different types of food, and hygiene.
Years 3 and 4 – Animals including humans:
- I can identify that humans and some other animals have skeletons and muscles for support, protection and movement.
- I can describe the simple functions of the basic parts of the digestive system in humans.
- I can identify the different types of teeth in humans and their simple functions.
- I can construct and interpret a variety of food chains, identifying producers, predators and prey.
Years 5 and 6 – Animals including humans:
- I can describe the changes as humans develop to old age.
- I can identify and name the main parts of the human circulatory system, and describe the functions of the heart, blood vessels and blood.
- I am aware of the impact of diet, exercise, drugs and lifestyle on the way my body functions.
- I can describe the ways in which nutrients and water are transported within animals, including humans.
At school, we refer to 8Rs to promote good learning behaviour:
- responsive
- ready
- (safe) risks
- responsible
- resourceful
- resilient
- remember
- reflect
This week’s ‘Remember 2s’ (R2s) directly link to three of the 8Rs:
- Remember – Think back to Science lessons, learning, tasks, games etc.
- Reflect – Which facts are you most confident with? Which ones do you need to work on?
- Resourceful – For facts you’re unsure of, how can you improve your understanding? Who could you ask at home or at school?
Year 5/6 only – complete your My Health My School pupil diary from Saturday 28 June for the next seven days and return it to class once completed. Please ensure it is back in class by Monday 07 July.
