Our message today follows on from yesterday’s…
…when we provided you with a one-page list of the geographical words and phrases from the current Geography topic.
Check out our Curriculum Statement for a similar list of the key scientific words and phrases for this half-term’s Science topics, along with an overview of the learning (the age-related expectations) for each topic:
- Year 1 and 2: Everyday materials (a chemistry topic – read pages 38-40 – it’s the Cycle B topic that children are doing)
- Year 3 and 4: Rocks, soils and fossils (also a chemistry topic – also pages 38-40)
- Year 5 and 6: Earth and space (a physics topic – see pages 41-43)
To support your child to learn and use the words, you could:
- encourage them to research the words and find out more about them
- create a wordsearch or a crossword
- quiz your child the to see if they can match the words and the definitions
- play a could of rounds of Articulate (even if you don’t have the board game) by describing a word without actually saying it
As the topic progresses over the half-term, talk with your child about which words and phrases they’re learning in the recorded session.
Contact your child’s class teacher for help finding the Science vocabulary in our Curriculum Statement.
