UNIT SUMMARY
In this unit pupils will review and extend their knowledge of the human body, looking at the principal parts of the body and the five senses. They will also be introduced to three vital body systems: the circulatory system, the respiratory system and the digestive system.
At the beginning of the unit pupils will revise parts of the body and the five senses. This subject area is covered in the opening illustration with the help of the course characters, Carla and Alex, who are on a school trip to a doctor's surgery. The school trip continues in the story and, on their return to school, Alex and Carla carry out a School trip project to review all the parts of the body they have learnt. These opening pages are designed to test pupils' prior knowledge and ease them into the subject matter of the unit, provoking interest and participation. They will move on to study body systems and a detailed look at how our sense organs work. This is a new area of study for the pupils and one that requires a high level of language and knowledge acquirement. Therefore, the aim of this unit should be to introduce pupils to the subject matter, focusing on the idea that our body is made up of systems that work together like a complex machine and less on the detail of how the systems work.
In the Find out project, pupils will investigate how the brain can be tricked by optical illusions and it the Find out section of the unit, pupils will reflect on and how people deal with visual impairment.
VALUES AND ATTITUDES
In this unit your pupils will learn to appreciate how important our senses are and how people with a sensory defect can use special objects or tools to carry out everyday activities. Throughout the unit, try to encourage pupils to think about:
how we use our five senses every day and how we would feel if you lost the use of one of them.
how important it is to look after our bodies, focusing on looking after our eyes and ears.
how we should be aware that the people around us may have a sensory impairment and be sensitive to their needs.
Think about it
The Think about it page in this unit focuses on visual impairment. The intention of this section is to focus on how modern day inventions and tools can make it easier for people who cannot see to adapt to everyday life and continue enjoying their autonomy.

UNIT SUMMARY
In this unit we will study different ways to look after ourselves. Pupils will look at what a balanced diet consists of and, through this, they will revise the main food groups, which they have studied in previous years. Food groups can be presented in different ways and there are a variety of diagrams and methods to present this information. In ByME Primary Science 3, the food groups are presented using the image of a healthy plate. The focus is on what we should try to include in every meal, which means knowing how to choose different sources of good fats, essential for a healthy diet. Sugar is not represented in the healthy plate illustration on page 24 because a healthy diet does not need artificial sources of sugar. It is important for this age group to understand sugar is not good for us and sugary foods should only be eaten occasionally. Encourage your pupils to choose nutritional school snacks for themselves.
Pupils will extend their knowledge of other ways of taking care of their bodies and minds. This unit has plenty of opportunities to encourage pupils to take responsibility for their health. Daily hygiene, rest and exercise are healthy habits children of this age can show a responsible attitude towards and carry out by themselves. Pupils will think about health problems and prevention. They will also reflect on how we change with age, and how our emotional health is also of great importance.
In the Find out project they will investigate how much sleep we need at different stages of life and in the Think about it section of the unit, pupils think about how best to use their free time.
VALUES AND ATTITUDES
In this unit your pupils will learn to recognise that a balanced diet, basic hygiene, exercise and rest are healthy habits. They learnt in Unit 1 that the human body is complex and needs to be looked after. In this unit, they learn that there are lots of things they can take direct responsibility for to look after themselves. Throughout the unit, try to encourage pupils to think about:
what they eat and how they could improve their diet if necessary. how important it is to carry out basic hygiene every day. how lack of sleep, exercise and well-being can affect our health and our
development.
Think about it
The Think about it page in this unit focuses on free time. The aim of this section is to encourage pupils to do a variety of free-time activities, but recognise that not everyone likes or should like the same things. This unit is a good opportunity to foment a positive attitude to individuality and encourage self-confidence.

UNIT SUMMARY
In this unit pupils will review the differences between living and non-living things. They will look in detail at how plants and animals (humans included) carry out the life processes of nutrition, reproduction and interaction. They will learn how to classify living things into groups and sub-groups. As your pupils will be looking in detail at classifying animals in subsequent units, the main focus of this unit is the plant kingdom. Pupils will review the main parts of a plant and learn to recognise the similarities and differences between plant subgroups: grasses, bushes and trees. Your pupils will be introduced to the concept of plant nutrition, preparing them for a more detailed study of photosynthesis in year 4.
At the end of the unit, pupils are asked to reflect on the complexity of living things and how living things adapt and have adapted over many years to their environment. In the Find out project they will investigate how plants interact (movement towards the Sun) and in the Think about it section of
the unit, pupils learn how living things interact with each other for their mutual benefit.
VALUES AND ATTITUDES
In this unit your pupils will learn that all living things carry out basic life processes. Throughout the unit, try to encourage pupils to think about:
how they interact with the world around them. how we should respect all living things and show an interest in how they
carry out life processes. how varied life on Earth is and how fascinating it is to discover the world
of plants and animals in detail.
Think about it
The Think about it page in this unit focuses on interaction of living things. Pupils will learn how some living things work together for mutual benefit.
