SCIENCE

 

 Our Science theme this term is Dangers to Living Things. In this unit, children will be constructing and interpreting food chains, identifying producer, prey, consumer and predator. They will also realise that the availability of food is an important factor when considering how animals respond to change in the environment. They will consider how humans can reduce the impact of some environmental changes.

 

 Here are some great websites where you can do some home research activities:
