IPC PROJECT FOR Summer 2 2017: Being Human Humans and other animals

The Big Idea

Your body is designed to help you to breathe, move, eat, respond, reproduce and live. But how do the different parts of your body function and how are humans different from other animals? Let's find out.

In Science, we will be ﬁnding out::
- How humans are different from other animals
- About the brain and the nervous system
- About the bones and muscles in the body
- How the human heart works
- How we breathe and what the lungs do
- What we inherit from our parents
- How our environment affects us
- How the body uses food and water
- About the latest medical research
In TECHNOLOGY, we will be ﬁnding out:
- How to plan and prepare a healthy meal
In International, we will be ﬁnding out:
- About a major global health problem
- If we can improve the health of the world's children
Maths and English
Maths

Please help your child to know all of the times tables facts up to 12 x 12 and their related division facts.

This is incredibly important and is actually a Year 4 objective.

We will also be working hard to remember how to:
- Find fractions of quantities and read scales.
English

We will be learning how to write: Biographies, diaries and information leaflets.

We will continue to improve our SPaG knowledge, skills and understanding, in particular: spelling rules involving suffixes and prefixes, and adverbial phrases showing time, manner and place.
Important dates;
Wednesday 19th July : Leaver assembly @2.00pm

Thursday 20^th July - Whole School Exit point

What better way to end the year than with a whole school celebration?!

We hope every child from Nursery to Year 6 will bring in a plate of something homemade and scrumptious. At 9.30am, children will begin the festivities and enjoy tasting food from all over the world, present day and past.
