This week’s Talk Time relates to the knowledge we’ve gained about Science this half term.
I can show off my biological knowledge through my understanding of animals including humans.
Years 1 and 2 – Animals including humans:
- 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 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 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?
