In Science this term, we will be learning all about living things and their habitats. 

Children will explore and use classification keys to help group, identify and name a variety of living things in their local and wider environment. They will also investigate and respond to the following questions: Are all sea creatures the same? Can you use a flower to identify the plant? Can you use leaves to identify the tree? Which groups can we place plants into?  

After exploring the diets of animals living in particular habitats, they will construct and interpret a variety of food chains, identifying producers, predators and prey, with a specific focus on oceanic food chains.

Through our learning about plastic pollution and how rising sea temperatures affect coral, children will become aware of how environments can change and that this can sometimes pose danger to living things.
