Week 4 

LO: Explore and use classification keys to help group, identify and name a variety of living things in the local and wider environment. 

‘Classified’ is another word meaning ‘grouped’. Living things can be classified, or grouped, into different categories. 

Work through the ‘Classifying living things’ PowerPoint. 

Now explain to someone:  

• Why is it useful to classify living things?  
• What is the difference between vertebrates and invertebrates? 
• What are the 5 groups that vertebrates are split into? 
• How can plants be grouped? 

• What is a branching database and how is it used? 

Just for fun play this insect classification game: http://www.crickweb.co.uk/ks2science.html 

Answer the yes/no questions in the branching database to click and drag each creature into the correct place. 

 Hope you have a great week year 4. Take care and best wishes from us all. 😄

Refugee Week 2020

Download our new Refugee Week resource to help 7-11 year-olds develop empathy and understanding. Inspiring activities can be used for home-schooling, online lessons or independent learning during Refugee Week (15-21 June) and beyond. Through powerful stories, role play activities, films, creative writing and more, learners will explore the theme ‘Imagine’. Imagination and real-life stories help build our understanding. Can learners imagine a kinder world which is full of empathy, understanding and mutual respect? Stories of young refugees arriving in the UK will spark imagination and help develop empathy. Explore the word empathy – what does it really mean? How do we feel in different scenarios? Creative activities include building an empathy tree, writing letters to refugees and exploring ways we could welcome refugees to the community. Key facts and background information for educators and parents help support the learning of this topic. These are just a taster of what to expect from our new resource Refugee Week 2020: imagine a kinder world.
