Spring 2 - How can I be a healthier me?

This half term, we will exploring the question, 'How can I be a healthier me?', focusing on understanding what makes a healthy, nutritious diet and how our bones and muscles help us to move and keep active in Science. We will also be exploring how to create, design and make a nutritious, balanced meal in Design and Technology. As well as this, we will be learning about the Geography of the UK, and how geographical features determine how food is grown and distributed. To help us do this, we will be answering a mini-question each week:

Week 1: What does it mean to be healthy?

Week 2: How do muscles help us move and keep active?

Week 3:  Why is it important to eat a nutritious diet?

Week 4: How do diets differ across the world?

Week 5: How can we design and create a nutritious meal?

We will also be designing and creating our own Stone Age settlements in our Design and Technology lessons.
