Autumn 1

Animals including Humans - This unit recaps the children’s learning from year 2 about how animals survive and stay healthy and helps children to learn more about what makes a healthy, balanced diet.

We will learn about:

• nutrients that different foods provide and how these nutrients help our bodies
• explore how different animals eat different types of foods and need different proportions of nutrients.
• understand what food labels on packaging show and gather information from food labels to help them to answer questions
• explore the different types of skeletons that animals have and compare these
• plan a fair test and measure and record accurately

We worked in groups to sort the different food groups.

Autumn 2

Rocks and Soils - we will be moving on to learn about Rocks and Soils this half term.
