The Water cycle
Water is extremely important because it essential to all living things. It is a material which can change state. Liquid water evaporates to become water vapour- part of the air around us. When water vapour is cooled it changes back into liquid water. This can often be in the form of precipitation- rain, snow,sleet or hail.
So water is all around, in the air- as vapour , or perhaps as a liquid, such as puddles on the ground. These disappear when the water evaporates , a process aided by the sun and wind.
Water can also change into a solid, which we call ice, when the temperature falls to 0°. This, of course, melts again when the temperature rises.
When water gets very hot ,steam is produced as the water changes into water vapour.
These changes of state are called ‘reversible changes’.- Which means that the water can be returned to a former state.
Now let me tell you something ‘bout Water,
‘Cos if you don’t know by now, then you oughta.
We all need it so we think it’s great,
And it can even change it’s state.
The Water Cycle goes round and round
Evaporation Gas It’s part of the air
Condensation Cool Then a liquid is there
Precipitation Falls It goes to the ground

The Water Cycle goes round and round
And did you know that water is around us,
In vapour in the air or down on the ground, as
Puddles which can vanish in the sun and the breeze,
But watch the water freeze at zero degrees.

The Water Cycle goes round and round
So water can be solid when it’s frozen as ice,
Which melts into liquid when the temperatures rise.
When it boils it makes steam as it turns into gas -
Reversible changes of state don’t last.

• Provides brilliant opportunity to encapsulate what it is you want to teach within a particular type of structure
Song format
•Gives opportunity to revisit several times & so emphasise the bits you really want to emphasise! (chorus)
•Each section can focus on concise body of information- can be sequential- progressing from one concept / idea to the next (verses).
We’ve got
the Force
If you want pulling or pushing or spinning around,
If you want upthrust or gravity to get to the ground,
If you want stretching or moving, as a matter of course,
You’ll want us, ‘cos we’ve got the force.
Well we meet with some resistance almost everywhere,
In the water, on the ground and even up in the air.
It slows us down, a bit of friction, and things get hot,
But that’s only on the surface and we like it a lot.
If you want pulling or pushing or spinning around,
If you want upthrust or gravity to get to the ground,
If you want stretching or moving, as a matter of course,
You’ll want us, ‘cos we’ve got the force.
Food Chain
Everything around us, if it’s alive,
Needs nutrition to survive,
And in an ecosystem in a habitat,
The animals know just where they’re at.
That’s part of the ……
Food chain - the transfer of energy
Food chain – nature’s way
Food chain – in a natural community,
Producer Consumer, A Predator
eating its prey.
All of Earth’s energy comes from the Sun,
And green plants can change it and pass it on,
Producing food for consumers in their leaves,
In a process called photosynthesis.

Meanwhile….
Down in the pond,
There’s a little food chain on -
From pondweed to bugs and bugs to newt,
Oh no! The newt got eaten by a coot.

Releasing nutrients into the soil that help the plants to grow.

Light & Dark: Objectives
• that light is essential for seeing things
•that objects cannot be seen in darkness
• that when it is dark other senses can be used to help us find things and identify things
• that there are many sources of light
• that light sources vary in brightness
• to observe and make comparisons of sources of light •that sources of light show up best at night-time
• to observe and make comparisons of sources of light and to try to explain what they observed
•that the Sun is the source of light for the Earth
• that it is dangerous to look at the Sun because it is so bright
• to make observations and to try to explain these
• that shiny objects need a light source if they are to shine
• that shiny objects are not light sources
• to suggest how to find out about where a reflective strip will shine brightly
• to make observations and simple comparisons and to say whether what they found out was what they expected
• words and phrases related to light and dark eg bright, light, dark, black, night, day, reflect, reflective strip
•· names of light sources eg torch, warning light, Sun, candle, lantern
•· words and phrases used to make comparisons eg darker/darkest, bright/brighter/brightest
•expressions giving reasons using ‘because’.

Does it grow? does it feed?does it reproduce? have senses? does it move?
What is it made of, what can it do, what can we use it for?
Can it push, can it pull, can it make things move, does it have the force?
