Use appropriately everyday language of approximation.

Work with others to achieve a group goal.

2.5 Describes properties of light, sound, heating and movement.

Investigate ways sound and light travel through and are reflected by materials.

2.14 Conducts simple tests and describes observations.

Conduct a test to answer questions, such as whether a marble or toy car will roll farther down a slope.

2.10 Generates patterns and follows rules based on the simple repetition and movement of things.

Repeat shapes which are exactly the same in some recognisable pattern for decorative purposes.

Attend to the right attribute when judging which of two things is bigger.

2.1 Compares similarities and differences between people at different stages of life.

Recognise that people they know are at different stages of development.

3.8 Identifies external and internal features of living things that work together to form systems with particular functions.

Identify systems in the human body, such as the skeletal system, and their major parts.

3.18 Selects suitable and uniform things to use as units when measuring and a common unit to compare two things.

Refer to gaps and overlaps in explaining differences in the number of units taken to cover an object.

Understand that units are needed when direct comparison is not possible or we wish to know/quantify 'how big' or 'how much bigger'.

3.4 Applies motor skills with equipment in skill drill activities and minor games.

Throw a ball to stationary and moving partners.

Explain how their level of skill can influence their participation in physical activities.
