This subject is taught weekly.

Some units (seasonal changes and plants Y1, plants Y2 and Y3, living things and their habitats Y4 and Y5) should be revisited each term.

ENQUIRY TYPES We have added some ideas for different enquiries you could use for each PoS. REMEMBER you must cover each enquiry type at least twice a year. The research aspect of enquiry types can be partially covered by looking at THE SCIENTISTS associated with the topic.
