3 & 4 Pupils should learn :

1.1 to make observation anduse the observation togroup things into livingthings and non-living

things

State the characteristics ofliving things i.e.:

- they need food andwater

- they breathe- they can move-

they grow- they can produceyoung

recognize humans, animalsands plants as living things.

Pupils give reasons why they saysomething is a living thing e.g itneeds food and water, it breathes, itmoves, it grows and it can produceyoung.

Pupils look at the grouping that theydid earlier. Pupils redo their groupingbased on the characteristics of livingthings.

Pupils watch videos of animalseating, moving, growing andproducing young.
