Teacher’s Notes
End of Year
End of Year Test Between completing the Term 3 Test and the End of Year Test, spend some time revisiting the material covered during the year. Sing some of the unit songs that the pupils have particularly enjoyed and, through games and discussion, review the main concepts learned in each unit. * It is strongly recommended that you avoid setting pupils the Term 3 Test and End of Year Test too close together.
Materials: question cards (enlarged for the board); question cards (sets A and B for pupils), Blu Tack or sticky tape
1 Play Noughts and crosses •• Use the sixteen question cards to make a large noughts and crosses grid on the board. Divide the class into two teams. Ask them to choose a name for their team and a captain. •• Encourage the pupils in the Noughts team to select the question they want to answer by saying I want question (three), please. Read the question out loud. The pupils should confer before the team captain gives the final answer. If a pupil answers correctly, remove the question card and ask him/her to put either a nought or a cross in its place. Repeat for the Crosses team. •• The winning team is the first one to make a line (horizontal, vertical or diagonal) of noughts or crosses.
2 Play Question and answer in pairs •• Organise the pupils into pairs. One child in each pair is A and the other is B. Give all the Pupils A set A of the question cards and key and give Pupils B set B of the question cards and key. •• Tell the pupils they must keep their cards and key secret from their partner. The pupils ask and answer the questions in pairs. They check their partners’ answers using the key. If the pupil answers correctly, they should keep the card. The pupil with the most cards at the end of the game is the winner. Tell the pupils that they must answer every element of the question correctly to win the card.
3 Do the test •• Explain what the pupils must do in each activity and make sure they all have the necessary materials. Allow pupils time to do the test individually and monitor carefully, helping any individuals who are having difficulty.

Exploring soil
•• Put some soil on a sheet of newspaper at the front of the class. Ask the pupils to come out and observe and/or touch the soil and describe it. Encourage them to use language such as There is … There are … It has … It’s …. If the pupils do not mention rocks, stones, humus, water or air, elicit them by asking What else can we find in soil?

Say the Soil rap
•• Ask the pupils if they remember the Soil rap from Lesson 2 (see Pupil’s Book Teacher’s Notes Lesson 2 for lyrics). Play CD 3 (track 2). Ask them to listen and say the rap along with the CD.
3 Poster activity: Soil •• Focus the pupils on the poster. Ask volunteers to come out and point out and name the different things that they can see. •• Divide the class into two and hand out the word cards to pupils in one half of the class. Ask the pupils to describe, mime or say a definition for their word card in order for the pupils in the other half of the class to guess it. When a pupil guesses, he or she goes and places the word card in the correct place on the poster.
4 Labelling soil layers •• Draw a basic diagram showing the layers in soil on the blackboard. Ask Are these layers the same or different? What can we find in the different layers? Have volunteers label the layers saying This is the top layer, it is called topsoil, etc.
5 Making a soil ecosystem poster •• Divide the class into groups. Give each group a large blank sheet of paper or card. Ask them to draw a soil ecosystem and to label it with as much information as possible. Set a time limit, such as 5-10 minutes. •• When the pupils have finished, have each group present their soil ecosystem to the class.
6 Types of soil •• Ask the pupils to name the different types of soil. Write the names on the blackboard as three headings: Fertile, Poor, Arid. Now ask the pupils to tell you the characteristics of the three types of soil. Say Tell me about these types of soil. Then ask them to tell you what plants can grow in the different types of soil and where we can find the different types of soil.

Say the Landscapes chants
•• Ask the pupils if they remember the Landscapes chants from Lesson 1. Ask them to stand up. Play CD 2 (tracks 44 and 45) and have them listen and say the chants (see Pupil’s Book Teacher’s Notes Lesson 1 for lyrics).
2 Poster activity: Landscapes •• Hand out the word cards to pairs of pupils. Ask them to come out to the poster and stick the word cards on the corresponding features. Ask each pair to then give a definition of that feature, for example This is an island. An island is an area of land that is surrounded by water.
3 Talking about landscapes •• Ask the pupils to get into groups with the photos or cut-outs of landscapes that they have brought in and ask them to talk about the features that they can see. Encourage them by asking Is this a mountain landscape, a flat landscape or a coastal landscape? Can you see a river? Which part of the river is it? When they have finished, you may like to ask a pupil to stick three photos or cut-outs on the board and to describe one of them. The rest of the class has to guess which picture they are describing. •• Use the photos or cut-outs to point out man-made and natural features in the landscapes. Point to a feature and ask the pupils to say if it is natural or man-made.
4 Mountain and flat landscapes •• Draw a mountain on the board and have volunteers label it. •• Discuss whether a flat or mountain landscape is best for growing crops. Remind the pupils that in a mountain landscape, crops are usually grown in the valleys and very little grows at the summit. Discuss how flat landscapes are good places for growing crops.
5 Rivers •• Draw a river on the board and write the first letter of the three main parts. Ask the pupils to come and label the river and say the parts. (Source, mouth, meander, tributaries, upper course, middle course, lower course.) Ask Where do most rivers end? (In the sea / At the coast.)
6 Coastal landscape game •• Divide the class into six groups. Ask each group to write a definition of a feature of a coastal landscape: beach, cliff, cape, bay, island, archipelago. Have each group read their definition to the class and when a pupil from another group guesses the feature, he or she draws and labels it on the board. •• At the end of the game, the pupils should have drawn and labelled a coastal landscape on the board.

Say the Water chant
•• Ask the pupils if they remember the Water chant from Lesson 1. Say Let’s say the chant. Play CD 2 (track 30) and encourage the pupils to listen and join in (see Pupil’s Book Teacher’s Notes Lesson 1 for lyrics).
2 Air and water •• Ask the pupils where air is found. Discuss with the pupils why air and water are so important for us and other living things. (We need air to breathe. We need water to live. Plants need air and water to grow.)
3 States of water •• Show the pupils the ice cubes and glass of water and, in turn ask What’s this? (Water.) Ask How are they different? (Water is liquid and ice is solid.) Say These are two states of water. Can we find water in any other state? (Yes, we can find water as a gas.)
4 Poster activity: Water on Earth •• Focus the pupils on the poster and ask them if they can remember the two types of water found on Earth. (Saltwater and freshwater.) •• Hand out the word cards and ask the pupils to come and put them on the poster. Then ask a volunteer to come and point to all the pictures that show saltwater. Repeat for freshwater.
5 Characteristics of air and water memory game •• Ask the pupils if they can remember the two main gases that make up air. (Oxygen and nitrogen.) •• Ask the pupils if they can remember the characteristics of air and water. Tell them that they are going to play a memory game. Say Air and water have no smell. Ask a volunteer to repeat what you have said and to add another characteristic of air and water. Now ask a second pupil to repeat the first and second characteristic and to add a third, and so on. •• Repeat the game with different pupils in front of the class. You may then wish to divide the class into groups of four and ask them to play again.
6 Weather game •• Ask What is weather? (Weather is the state of the atmosphere in a certain place at a certain time.) Say Let’s play Hangman with some weather words. Divide the class into two teams and play Hangman on the board with the following words: precipitation, temperature, wind, calm, breeze, gale, hurricane, snow, hail, rain. Award a point to each team for each correctly guessed word. •• Each time the pupils guess a word, ask them to try to define it. You may like to award another point if they do so correctly. Suggested definitions: Precipitation is water falling from the atmosphere. Temperature is how hot or cold it is. Wind is moving air. Calm is when there is no wind. A breeze is when there is a little wind.
A gale is a strong wind. A hurricane is a very strong wind. Snow is solid precipitation. Hail is precipitation in the form of balls of ice. Rain is liquid precipitation.

Hand out the word cards for the five different habitats and ask the pupils to come and put each one by its corresponding picture. Encourage them to describe each habitat as they do this, for example, This is a savannah. It’s very hot and dry. It’s humid in summer, etc. •• Ask the pupils to name animals that live in each habitat and ask them how each animal can live in this habitat, for example, The polar bear lives in the Arctic habitat. It can live in the cold Arctic region because it has thick, white fur.
3 Water habitats •• Ask the pupils if they can tell you the names of some water habitats. (Oceans, seas, rivers, lakes.) Ask the pupils how these are different. (Oceans and seas are saltwater and rivers and lakes are freshwater.) •• Ask volunteers to tell you some animals they know that live in each type of habitat. (Jellyfish and octopus live in oceans and seas. Frogs live in rivers and lakes, etc.)
4 Definitions: Poster activity •• Focus the pupils on the poster again and ask What is a habitat? Can you make a definition for the word habitat? Encourage them to try to make a definition in pairs and refer them to their Pupil’s Book if they are having difficulty. •• Repeat the process for ecosystem, population and community.
5 The food chain •• Write these words on the board jumbled up: fish, plants, frog, fox, fungi, rabbit, grass, heron, insect. Ask the pupils to say what each animal eats, for example, Fish eat plants, other animals or both. Frogs eat insects. Rabbits eat grass and plants. •• Now ask the pupils if they can make food chains using the words on the board. Invite volunteers to come out to the board, circle the words they need, number them and join them with a line. •• Hand out the producer, consumer and decomposer word cards to other volunteers and ask them to come and put each one by the relevant word in a food chain on the board. 1 grass
2 rabbit

Ask the pupils to name the two parts. (Blade, stalk.) Then ask the pupils to say what type of leaf margin the leaf has: serrate, lobed, entire, dentate, sinuate or palmate. Invite volunteers to draw the different leaf margins on the board.
4 Sentence card game •• Point out the flower on the plant again and ask the pupils if they remember what develops inside the carpel. (Seeds.) Ask them what grows from a seed. (A new plant.) Draw the following on the board: a seed underground, the Sun in the sky and water falling on the seed, and say Seeds need water, warmth, sunlight and air to germinate. What happens next? Invite a volunteer to come to the board and draw the next stage of the life cycle of the plant and explain what happens. Repeat the procedure until the life cycle is complete. •• Now ask seven pupils to come out to the front of the class. Give them each a sentence card and then ask them to stick their sentences by the corresponding pictures drawn on the board. When the pupils have stuck the sentence cards on the board, ask them to read them to the class. •• If the pupils find this activity challenging, repeat the activity with another group of pupils.
5 Why we need plants •• Discuss with the pupils how we use plants in different ways. Ask them to name things that come from plants. Encourage them to say Plants give us food, oxygen, medicines, wood for building houses, etc.
