Unit 1a:
Ourselves
Identify and locate parts of their body, including sense organs; recognise changes that take place as animals get older; use their observations to point out differences between humans and other animals and between animals and non-living things and communicate observations and measurements.

Direct2U Lesson Plan
In the context of a unit of study of ‘Ourselves and Other Animals’ the teacher uses a website photo resource to introduce the idea that different animals can be found in different environments. Familiar habitats such as wood hedgerow and farm are covered. The resources are available at the Sir Robert Hitcham's Primary School website. A worksheet is provided W60 Science Y1X.

 Intel Microscope ICT Link
Use the Intel Microscope to identify how an unfamiliar minibeast will move. Create a video and use it to discuss movement of the minibeasts.
Guidance on using Intel Microscope
Take images of tadpoles at various stages of development. These photos could be imported and a suitable word bank prepared. The children could label developing parts, eg legs. This activity could also be undertaken with other minibeasts. The children could produce a sentence using words and images from the word bank.
Look at fingers, eyes, ears, nose and tongue. (Health & Safety – avoid light in eyes!)
  Wordprocessing ICT Link Unit 1B
Use a word processor with a word bank (e.g. Clicker 5 or Textease) to present information.
 Pictogram ICT Link
Create a class pictogram to gather, record, display and discuss information about the eye colours or other body features of children in the class.
Online Big Book
Use "The Lost Cygnet" big book to compare young and adult animals.

Word Processing ICT Link Unit 1B
Children produce clear and error-free text on screen to name external parts of the body
Prepare a screen containing images of body parts, and a word bank with the words children need to describe them, eg leg, nose, ear. The images could be either scans of children’s own drawings or digital pictures that they have taken of each other with a camera.
Show the words and images, perhaps using an interactive whiteboard or data projector. Ask the children to make sentences about body parts, drawing attention to the key vocabulary featured in the word bank.
Ask the children to produce a description using the word bank, together with some words they have typed in using the keyboard, eg This is Owen. He has two legs. If the images are imported into the word banks, children could select the appropriate images as well as the text to communicate their ideas.
