Science
Earth and Space
Describe the movement of the Earth and other planets relative to the sun in the solar system. Describe the movement of the moon relative to the Earth. Describe the sun, Earth and moon as approximately spherical bodies. Use the idea of the Earth’s rotation to explain day and night and the apparent movement of the sun across the sky.
Forces
Explain that unsupported objects fall towards the Earth because of the force of gravity acting between the Earth and the falling object. Identify the effects of air resistance, water resistance and friction that act between moving surfaces. Recognise that some mechanisms including levers, pulleys and gears allow a smaller force to have a greater effect.
Materials
Compare and group together everyday materials on the basis of their properties, including their hardness, solubility, transparency, conductivity (electrical and thermal), and response to magnets. Know some materials will dissolve in liquid to form a solution and describe how to recover a substance from solution.
Use knowledge of solids, liquids and gases to decide how mixtures might be separated, including through filtering, sieving and evaporating. Give reasons, based on evidence from comparative and fair tests, for the particular uses of everyday materials, including metal, wood and plastic. Demonstrate that dissolving, mixing and changes of state are reversible changes. Explain that some changes result in the formation of new materials, and that this kind of change is not usually reversible, including changes associated with burning and the action of acid on bicarbonate of soda.
Living Things and their Habitats: Life Cycles
Describe the differences in the life cycles of a mammal, an amphibian, an insect and a bird. Describe the life process of reproduction in some plants and animals. Describe the changes as humans develop to old age.

Religious Education
What does it mean to be a Muslim?
This unit will enable pupils to learn about the ways in which Muslims practice their faith in daily life, in the home, at the mosque and within wider society. The focus will be on the practical outworking of Islamic belief within those actions, behaviours, customs, traditions and duties that shape the identity of Muslims.
What happens in a Mosque?
In this unit, pupils will have the opportunity to learn about the place of the mosque in Islamic religious practice and communal life. The unit will explore the place of prayer within the mosque, the features and functions of different parts of the mosque, the role of the imam and the way in which mosques engage in community building and social outreach.
In what ways can art and design express religious belief?
This unit will consider the creative dimension of the human religious expression by exploring the role of art and design. The value and potential of art and design in conveying symbolic meaning, signifying religious concepts, telling stories, enabling prayer and worship, and in helping people to engage with the mystery of God will all be considered. The unit will also provide opportunities for pupils to take part in creative activities that involve them in producing their own artistic responses to religious ideas and themes.
How is human identity and belonging shaped by faith and belief?
In this unit, pupils will have the opportunity to explore and reflect upon the way in which religion, faith and belief shapes their own and other people’s lives. It will examine the nature of faith, the impact that this has, both on individuals and communities, and consider the way in which religious traditions mark rites of passage in life and death.
What festivals, worship and celebrations happen within Hinduism?
This unit will examine the nature of worship within Hinduism as well as the place of celebrations and festivals within this religious tradition. It will enable pupils to appreciate the rich complexity of Hinduism and the many ways in which Hindus express their faith.
