At the end of this unit, children will be able to fulfil a number of the following:
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.

Recognise and describe many sounds; describe how sounds are generated by specific objects; state that they hear sounds through their ears; describe what they observe when they move further away from a source of sound; make observations or measurements relating to sounds and with help present these in charts.

Identify some types of food that make up their diet and name some examples of each; recognise that an adequate diet and exercise are necessary for them to grow and stay healthy; ask questions in order to make comparisons and describe differences they observe.  Recognise that care needs to be taken with medicines and recognise that animals produce young.

Describe an adequate and varied diet for humans, recognising that there are many ways of achieving this; explain how they should look after their teeth and recognise why they need to do so; suggest questions about diet.
 
This topic includes some resources, information and teaching suggestions to enable the teacher to deliver this area of the curriculum in a lively and interesting way. The children will learn about themselves and also the donkeys!
