Our Science topic this term is Living Things and their Habitats. We will be investigating how living things are classified into broad groups according to common observable characteristics, based on similarities and differences, including micro-organisms, plants and animals. In a series of practical activities we will work scientifically by using classification systems and keys to identify some animals and plants and research unfamiliar species and decide where they belong in the classification system.

During times of home learning, we recommend some form of daily exercise to be undertaken. This may be a walk in the local area, a bike ride or an online exercise program, for example Joe Wickes.
