Living things and their habitats (Beach focus):
Children will be taught to recognise that living things can be grouped in a variety of ways. They will explore and use classification keys to help group, identify and name a variety of living things in their local and wider environment. Children will recognise that environments can change and that this can sometimes pose dangers to living things.
