This resource is for Year 5 and includes a variety of resources covering gestation (humans and animals), puberty, and old age developments. This resource includes: a topic cover page, 2 lesson plans, 2 lesson powerpoints, a variety of worksheets, and a differentiated worksheet. The lesson plans are detailed but can easily be reduced. The learning objectives are: 'to know what happens during pregnancy and explore the gestation periods of different animals' and 'to consider the changes that take place during puberty and old age'. This resource covers the statutory requirement: 'describe the changes as humans develop to old age' (DfE, 2013), as well as some aspects of working scientifically. The resources are all designed to be used together.

An ‘I can’ activity sheet - the children write 3 ‘I can’ statements about themselves before going around the classroom to see who else can and write their names (e.g. So can Daisy, Geoffrey). Ideal for Year 2. This activity is suitable even for well established groups, it can be very surprising to see how little the children know about each other or how much they have in common.

This resource is perfect for anyone trying to promote the mental wellbeing of individuals or whole classes. The idea is to establish a routine of finding a positive and purposeful aspect of every day. The coversheet (one for each year group) is placed on an exercise book and would look lovely printed on coloured paper. Daily, the children write the date, one thing they have learned and one thing that has made them happy.
