Long Term Plan Years 5 and 6 2014 ‐ 2015 THEME AUTUMN A Awesome Aztecs AUTUMN B Awesome Aztecs SPRING A SPRING B SUMMER A SUMMER B Stone Age Living things and Habitats ( Y5 unit) Children 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. Victorious Victorians Trip. Light Children recognise that light appears to travel in straight lines ...use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain that objects are seen because they give out or reflect light into the eye ...explain that we see things because light travels from light sources to our eyes or from light sources to objects and then to our eyes ...use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain why shadows have the same shape as the objects that cast them. Victorious Victorians Electricity Children associate the brightness of a lamp or the volume of a buzzer with the number and voltage of cells used in the circuit. They compare and give reasons for variations in how components function, including the brightness of bulbs, the loudness of buzzers and the on/off position of switches. Children use recognised symbols when representing a simple circuit in a diagram. SCIENCE Earth, Space and the Water Cycle Children will describe the movement of the Earth, and other planets, relative to the Sun in the solar system, the movement of the Moon relative to the Earth. They will describe the Sun, Earth and Moon as approximately spherical bodies and use the idea of the Earth’s rotation to explain day and night and the apparent movement of the sun across the sky. Animals including Humans Children identify and name the main parts of the human circulatory system, and describe the functions of the heart, blood vessels and blood ...recognise the impact of diet, exercise, drugs and lifestyle on the way their bodies function ...describe the ways in which nutrients and water are transported within animals, including humans. Pupils will learn how to keep their bodies healthy and how their bodies might be damaged – including how some drugs and other substances can be harmful to the human body. Evolution and Inheritance Children recognise that living things have changed over time and that fossils provide information about living things that inhabited the Earth millions of years ago ... recognise that living things produce offspring of the same kind, but normally offspring vary and are not identical to their parents ...identify how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment in different ways and that adaptation may lead to evolution. I.C.T History link. Children will plan an algorithm for a quiz game, breaking it up into the parts required to make a game. Program the game using variables to add a score to the game/timing for the game. Continue to test the game while making it and correct any errors in the programming and any errors in the algorithm used for the game. Children select computing software to create a simulation and explore to get screen elements to interact with the mouse. They plan and prepare an interactive model of a system in the human body and program multiple parts of the model to give explanations of the system. Explore the online programming community to identify how this can help with both developing a program and sharing it with others. Science link. Children have the opportunity to remind themselves of the basics of logo programming through exploration of FMS Logo and, as they gain confidence, extend their knowledge to more complex commands. Children create repeat procedures including the use of an ‘if’ statement to stop a procedure. They develop and improve algorithms which they program in Logo software. they explore ways in which Logo can use number operations and continue to debug their programs. Finally, children use Logo to make function machines. Science link. Decompose a problem into smaller parts to design an algorithm for a specific outcome and use this to write a program. Recognise similarities to solutions used before Explain and program each of the steps in my algorithm Change an input to a program to achieve a different output. Use different inputs (including sensors) to control a device or onscreen action and predict what will happen Refine a procedure using repeat commands to improve a program. Talk about how a computer model can provide information about a physical system. Use logical reasoning to detect and debug mistakes in a program and in my algorithm.
