1. Physical Science · Objects can be moved in a variety of ways, such as straight, zigzag, circular and back and forth.

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

2. Physical Science · Properties of objects and materials can change.

1. States of Matter Vocabulary: Name and distinguish the three states of matter — solid, liquid, and gas — using properties vocabulary: hard, rigid, runny, flows, keeps its shape, fills its container; use 'change of state' to describe what happens when materials are heated or cooled
2. Heating & Cooling Changes: Observe and describe that some materials change state when heated or cooled, and measure the temperature at which changes occur in degrees Celsius

3. Life Science · Living things survive only in environments that meet their needs.

1. Animal Homes: Know that animals make or find many different kinds of homes — birds build nests, rabbits dig burrows, bees live in hives, hermit crabs use empty shells, spiders spin webs — and that these shelters protect them and their young
2. What Living Things Need: Understand what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive: water, food, air, and suitable conditions
3. Habitats & Basic Needs: Identify that most living things live in habitats to which they are suited and describe how habitats provide for basic needs and how organisms depend on each other

4. Life Science · Living things have basic needs, which are met by obtaining materials from the physical environment.

1. What Plants Need to Grow: Understand that plants need water, light, and a suitable temperature to grow and stay healthy

5. Earth and Space Science · Water on Earth is present in many forms.

1. Where water is found on Earth: Identify where water is found on Earth and understand that water can exist as solid (ice) or liquid, recognising water in oceans, rivers, glaciers, and underground
2. Fast & Slow Earth Changes: Understand that Earth's surface changes: some changes are quick (eruptions, earthquakes) and some are slow (wind, water wearing away rock)

6. Earth and Space Science · The sun is the principal source of energy.

1. Sunlight warms things up: Make observations to determine the effect of sunlight on Earth's surface, noticing that sunlight warms the ground, water, and objects
2. Sun, Moon & Stars: Identify the Sun, Moon, and stars as objects in the sky and describe basic differences: the Sun gives light and heat during the day, stars are tiny points of light at night, and the Moon can appear in both the day and night sky
3. The Sun is a star: Know that the Sun is a star — the closest star to Earth — and that it is at the centre of our solar system, with all eight planets orbiting around it
