PSHCE

LC: To know how to keep healthy.

We already know that a healthy balanced diet is important!

What else do we need to keep up being healthy?

Activity

Go on to SeeSaw.

Look at the images below. With your talk partner you have to decide which ones belong in each category (head, heart and muscles).

Be careful! Four images don't belong in any category... they are there to trick you!

 

Science

Friday 28th February 2025

LC: To identify rocks based on their appearance and physical properties.

Key vocabulary:

Appearance - The way something looks

Physical Property - A physical property is any property that can be observed using the five senses or can be measured. Common physical properties include mass, volume, weight, color, size, and texture.

Types of Rocks

Properties and uses: Soft and hard rock

Some rocks are harder than others. For example, granite is a very hard rock. This makes it a good material for building as it doesn’t wear away easily.

Marble is another hard rock. It has an attractive texture and colour and it can be cut and polished. Because of this, it is used to make floor tiles and wall tiles. Some statues are made from marble too.

Chalk is a soft rock and wears away easily. This makes it ideal for making chalk sticks to write on blackboards.

Activity

Now it's time to identify rocks from their appearance and physical properties. Let's read the descriptions on your worksheet as a class.

There are six types of rocks around the classroom.

Chalk      Sandstone       Granite 

Slate       Marble             Limestone

In small groups, you will look at the rocks closely and feel them. You will them write the name of the rock above the correct description.
