Genetics and evolution - changes in the environment may leave individuals within a species, and some entire species, less well adapted to compete successfully and reproduce, which in turn may lead to extinction - the importance of maintaining biodiversity. KS2 Science - to identify that animals, including humans, need the right types and amount of nutrition, and that they cannot make their own food; they get nutrition from what they eat - to recognise that environments can change and that this can sometimes pose dangers to living things - to explore examples of human impact (both positive and negative) on environments. KS2 Geography - to learn about types of settlement and land use, economic activity including trade links, and the distribution of natural resources including energy, food, minerals and water. KS3 Geography - to understand, through the use of detailed place-based exemplars at a variety of scales, the key processes in human geography relating to: economic activity and the use of natural resources - to understand how human and physical processes interact to influence, and change landscapes, environments and the climate; and how human activity relies on effective functioning of natural systems. KS2/3 Design Technology: Cooking and Nutrition - to understand the source, seasonality and characteristics of a broad range of ingredients (fish and seafood). KS2/3 Literacy Reading: Comprehension - to read texts structured in different ways and for a range of purposes - identifying main ideas and summarising these - to retrieve and record information from non-fiction. Writing: Composition - to draft and write for different purposes - to compose and rehearse sentences orally - to retrieve, record and present information from non-fiction - to explain and discuss understanding of what they have read, including through formal presentations and debates - to provide reasoned justifications for their views. KS2 PSHE L5. ways of carrying out shared responsibilities for protecting the environment in school and at home; how everyday choices can affect the environment (e.g. food choices).
