Living things and their habitats:
Pupils should be taught to:

observable characteristics and based on similarities and differences, including microorganisms,
plants and animals
give reasons for classifying plants and animals based on specific characteristics.
Evolution and Inheritance:
Pupils should be taught to:
recognise that living things have changed over time and that fossils provide
information about living things that inhabited the Earth millions of years ago
recognise that living things produce offspring of the same kind, but normally offspring
vary and are not identical to their parents
identify how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment in different
ways and that adaptation may lead to evolution.

In dance as a whole, children think about how to use movement to explore and communicate ideas and issues, and their own feelings and thoughts. As they work they develop an awareness of the historical and cultural origins of different ideas.

S&R EDUCATION:
UKS2 Module Three: Created to Live in Community explores the individual’s relationship with the wider world. Here we explore how human beings are relational by nature and are called to love others in the wider community through service, through dialogue and through working for the Common Good:
Unit 1 – Religious Understanding deepens pupils understanding and appreciation of the three-part community of love, the Trinity, with the endpoint of discussing the Trinity as it might be communicated in a church setting. Children will learn that the Trinity demonstrates the perfect loving community, and we are called to emulate this self-giving and self-sacrificing love in our communities.
Building on learning from Lower Key Stage Two, Unit 2 – Living in the Wider World teaches children some of the principles of Catholic Social Teaching from Together For The Common Good, which will help them to fulfil their purpose of making a difference in the world around them. Teaching includes the common good, the human person, social relationships and stewardship.
