1. Life Science · Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to compare the similarities and differences in groups of organisms.

1. Offspring resemble parents: Observe that young plants and animals resemble their parents but are not identical, recognising inherited similarities and individual differences
2. Grouping Living Things: Recognise that living things can be grouped in a variety of ways based on observable features
3. Animal Body Groups: Describe and compare the external body structure of common animals across groups (fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals)

2. Life Science · Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about how organisms (alive and not alive) and non-living objects are grouped.

1. Living Things Vocabulary: Name and use vocabulary for what makes something living — alive, dead, never been alive, movement, nutrition, growth, reproduction, sensitivity, excretion — and apply these terms when classifying objects and explaining why plants and animals count as living things
2. Living, Dead & Never Alive: Explore and compare the differences between things that are living, dead, and things that have never been alive

3. Physical Science · Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to compare and describe different types of motion.

1. Pushes & Pulls: Understand that pushes and pulls are forces that can change the speed or direction of an object's motion, and compare the effects of different strengths and directions

4. Physical Science · Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to describe objects in terms of the materials they are made of and their physical attributes.

1. Choosing the Right Material: Identify and compare the suitability of everyday materials for particular uses, explaining why specific materials are chosen for specific purposes
2. Objects vs Materials: Distinguish between an object and the material from which it is made, understanding that objects can be made from different materials

5. Earth and Space Science · Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to describe the physical attributes of earth materials (soil, rocks, water, and air).

1. Local weather patterns: Use and share observations of local weather conditions to describe patterns over time, recording temperature, rainfall, and other conditions
2. Properties of materials: Compare and group different kinds of rocks based on their appearance and simple physical properties such as hardness, texture, and colour
3. Earth Is Made of Rock: Understand that Earth is made of rock and other solid materials

6. Earth and Space Science · Obtain, evaluate, and communicate observations about time patterns (day to night and night to day) and objects (sun, moon, stars) in the day and night sky.

1. Sun, Moon, and stars: Use observations of the sun, moon, and stars to describe predictable patterns such as the sun rising and setting, the moon changing shape, and stars appearing at night
