Learning journey

Your child is learning about the amazing diversity of life — identifying different animals and plants, understanding how body parts help animals survive, and discovering what all living things need to stay alive.

Evidence of understanding

  • Label eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and skin on a body outline
  • Match each sense organ to its sense: sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch
  • Describe a simple scenario for each sense (e.g. 'I use my nose to smell cookies baking')

Assessment prompt

Can Body Parts & Senses point to their eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin and tell you which sense each one is used for?
