Our topics for this half term are ‘Brainwaves’ and ‘How Humans Work’.

Brainwaves

In Brainwaves we will be learning about our brain and how we can use it to learn lots of new and different things every day, enabling us to gain the knowledge, skills and understanding that we will need to become successful now and in the future. By finding out more about how we learn, and how we can improve the way that we learn, we will be better equipped for meeting the many challenges ahead of us. We will need to be
metacognitive learners, scientists and internationally minded. How can we use our knowledge of the brain to help us on our learning journey?

How Humans Work

In How Humans Work we will be learning about the different functions of the human body, including how we see, hear, digest, breathe and move. We will also investigate how to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and the effects of diet and exercise on the body. We will need to be scientists, nutritionists and sports instructors in order to gain a deep understanding of how humans work. Have you ever considered how your body works?
And what does it really mean to be healthy?
