Hello, everybody.

My name's Mrs. Hart and I'm really excited to be learning with you today.

I'm going to be helping you all the way through this lesson and I think that we're going to have a really great time together.

Today's lesson is from the unit, living things and where they live.

Today's lesson is called alive, dead, and never alive.

And by the end of the lesson today, you are going to be able to compare and group things that are alive, dead, and never alive.

Some of the learning might feel a bit challenging today, but we're going to work really hard together and have a fabulous time.

And here are the key words for our lesson.

I'd like to say each of them first and it will be my turn.

And then I'd like you to say them after me and it will be your turn.

So here's the first one.

My turn, alive.

Your turn.

My turn dead.

Your turn.

My turn, never alive.

Your turn.

My turn, group.

Your turn My turn, compare.

Your turn.

You might already know some of these words or perhaps some of them are new to you, but don't worry, we'll talk about what they mean as we go through today's lesson.

Today's lesson is in two parts and we're going to start now with our first part, which is called alive and once alive.

There are many different living things in the world around us.

We've got two photographs to have a good look at now.

And my question to you is what living things can you see? You might like to pause the video now to have a chat or a think about this.

What living things can you see? Well, what did you notice? Perhaps in that first photograph, you saw the elephants and you saw some of the plants that are growing around them.

And in the second photograph, did you see the fish? They're called yellow tank and there were some sea plants growing around them as well.

Did you notice anything else? Well that's great observation and looking, well-done, everyone.

A living thing is something that is alive.

What do living things need to stay alive? And we've got some photographs of living things here.

Now we've got some water lilies and an iguana, which is type of lizard.

What do these things need to stay alive? Again, you might like to pause the video to give yourself time to think or to talk about this question.

So pause it now if you'd like to.

So what did you decide? What do living things need to stay alive? Well, living things need food, water, and air to stay alive.

So well-done if you said some or all of those.

Great work.

And now we have our first check for understanding.

And this is an odd one out question.

And remember we are thinking about things that are alive or once alive today.

Which of these is the odd one out? And I can see a pencil case, a mug, and an alligator.

So pause the video now and give yourself some time to think and to have a talk about which one is the odd one out and why you think this.

So, what did you decide? Remember we are thinking about things that are alive or were once alive.

Well, looking at these three things I can only see one living thing and that's the alligator.

So I think today that the alligator is the odd one out because it's the only one that is a living thing.

The pencil case and the mug are not living things.

Well-done if that's what you said too.

Not all things are living.

Some things that were once alive are now dead and we can see some leaves that have fallen from a tree when they were still attached to the tree, they were part of that living thing.

But now they've fallen from the tree and they're on the ground and they're dead.

They were once part of a living tree, but now, they're not.

And here, we can see some animal bones and these bones were once part of a living animal.

What do you see here that was once alive and is now dead? Let's have a look at this hat first of all.

What do you think this hat might be made from? I think you are right.

I think it might be made from wool.

Well, where does wool come from? It could be a sheet or perhaps, an alpaca.

So yes, this hat is made from wool and that wool was once part of a living thing.

What about the bread? Well, I wonder if you know what bread is made from.

There's a clue in the photograph behind the bread, can you see the plant that's growing there? I think this is a wheat plant because bread is made from wheat plants and those wheat plants were once alive before they were cut down and they're made into bread for us to eat.

Well-done if you notice those things.

And now we have our next check for understanding, which of these things is dead? And here we can see a humpback whale, jumping outta the water, an oak tree in wintertime, and a fallen tree trunk.

So pause the video now and have a think about which of these things is dead and how do you know? So did you have a really good look at each of these things? What did you decide? The humpback whale is jumping outta the water and it looks very much alive to me.

So I don't think the humpback whale is dead.

The oak tree in the winter.

Well this was a little bit tricky because the oak tree doesn't look particularly alive, does it? It doesn't have any leaves on it.

Oh, but what's that? The leaves will grow back again in the spring.

So even though it looks as though it may be dead, it's actually still alive.

This is just how it looks in the winter when its leaves have fallen off.

So the oak tree is not dead either.

What about the fallen tree trunk? Well this was once part of a living tree, but now it's not.

So yes, I think you're right.

The fallen tree trunk is dead and well-done if that's what you said too.

Laura is playing with her toy teddy.

I've got mine here as well.

She moves her teddy around the playmat.

Do you think Laura's teddy is alive? Well no, I don't think it's either my teddy bear's not alive.

Is he moving on his own? No, I'm making him move.

So no, Laura's teddy and my teddy are not alive and well-done if that's what you said too.

Laura's teddy and my teddy are non-living things.

A non-living thing is something that has never been alive.

And if we look in the classroom and we look at this town centre, we can see lots of non-living things.

Can you spot any other things that have never been alive in these photographs? So pause the video now and you need to use your observation, your looking skills to see if you can observe any things that have never been alive.

Any non-living things.

Pause the video now.

Oh, what did you notice? | What did you observe? If we look at the classroom, first of all, I can see there's a rug.

That's a non-living thing.

I can see there are cushions and books and a chair.

These are all non-living things.

I can see the whiteboard.

That's another non-living thing.

I can see some maths resources, some shapes and cubes.

These are all non-living things.

Did you observe anything different? Well-done.

And the town centre.

Well, I can see a street light, that's a non-living thing.

I can see buildings, they're non-living things.

I can see some cars driving along or parked on that high street.

They're non-living things.

Did you see anything different? Well-done if you did.

How do we know that this toy elephant is not alive? Again, you might like to pause the video to give yourself time to think or to have a talk with your partner.

Do that now if you'd like to.

Well this toy elephant, Lucas is telling us, it doesn't need air to stay alive.

And Sam is telling us it doesn't drink water or eat food.

It cannot move on its own.

So these are all things that a living thing would do.

So we know that this toy elephant is not alive.

Well-done if you said any of those.

Perhaps you said something different.

And now we have our next check for understanding.

This is a true or false check.

True or false? A non-living thing is something that is dead.

Is that true or false? Pause the video now to have a chat or a think about this.

So what did you decide is a non-living thing something that's dead? This is false, but how do we know this? Is it? I think this because a non-living thing is still alive.

Or is it? I think this because a non-living thing has never been alive.

So pause the video now and have a think about how we know this? How did you get on? Well, I'm hoping that you said I think this because a non-living thing has never been alive very much like my teddy bear.

It's a non-living thing.

It's never been alive and well-done if that's what you said too.

And now, we have another check.

Which of these things is non-living? Is it a zebra, a toy owl, or an animal bone? Pause the video now.

Let's have a look at these together, shall we? Is a zebra a non-living thing? Well I can see in the photograph it looks like it's standing up and moving.

I can see its tail is swishing.

I think this zebra is very much alive.

It's a living thing.

What about a toy owl? Is that a non-living thing? Has it ever been alive? I think the toy out is a non-living thing.

Well-done if you said that too.

What about this animal bone? Is that a non-living thing? Well, you're right.

That was once part of a living animal.

So now that is dead.

So the the non-living thing that we were looking for today was the toy owl.

And well-done if you said that too.

Great work, everybody.

And now, we are ready for our first task.

For this task, I would like you to go on a hunt for different objects.

I would like you to look for things that are alive, things that were once alive but are now dead and things that have never been alive.

And I'd like you to make a list of what you find.

You'll need to check with your adult if you're going to do this in the room that you are in now or if you're going to go outside.

If you are going to go outside, you might need to put your wellies and your coat on.

You might even need to put some sun cream on.

So you'll need to get ready.

You might need a clipboard and pencil because you're going to make a list of the things that you find that are alive.

Things that were once alive but are now dead and things that have never been alive.

I can't wait to see what you find.

Happy hunting.

So what did you find? Which living things did you find? I found some other children and some plants.

Did you find the same as me or perhaps, you found something different.

You might have seen a frog in your school pond or perhaps you have a class pet.

What about dead things? I found some dead leaves on the ground.

I also went past the kitchen and saw some sausages and those are dead as well.

What other dead things did you notice and what about things that are never alive? Well I have my teddy bear, didn't I? I saw my teddy bear and also my water bottle.

These are things that have never been alive, but when I looked around, there were lots of these.

Perhaps you noticed some cubes or some cars perhaps you saw chairs and tables.

They've never been alive, have they? I wonder if you found lots of things that were never alive or great observation everybody and well-done on recording what you found.

The next part of our lesson is called comparing and grouping alive, dead, and never Alive.

Sophia is grouping things into alive and never alive.

She's got two groups here.

She has her alive group and her never alive group.

And I can see into her alive sorting hoop.

She's grouped the cat, the plant, and the tortoise.

And in the never alive sorting hoop, she's grouped the watering can, a teddy and a coin.

Sophia's got a question for us.

She asks, where should I put the things that were once alive but are now dead? I can see Sophia has found some dead roses.

Well where should she put those? What do you think? Pause the video now to have a think or a chat about this question.

What did you decide? Can Sophia put the dead roses into the alive group? No, she can't.

Could she put them into the never alive group? Well the roses will once part of a plant that was alive.

So, I don't think they could go into the never alive group either.

Hmm, I wonder what we need to do.

Let's find out.

Living things need food, water, and air to stay alive.

All living things will eventually die.

And here we have some photographs of some dead things.

We have some dead roses, like the roses that Sophia is trying to group.

We have a dead crest plant.

I think somebody forgot to water that.

And here, we can see the bones of a dead animal.

Things that are dead will not become living again.

But I wonder which group which should put them into.

I think we're going to need some help.

Oh, Andeep is here to help us.

Andeep says.

you should make a different group for things that were once alive but are now dead.

Is a great idea, Andeep.

Thank you.

And Andeep has already started making a group of dead things for us.

And into the dead group, he has put a fallen leaf, a fallen tree, and an animal bone.

I think Sophia should put her dead roses into this group too.

Thanks for your help, Andeep.

Sophia decides to group things again.

She's found some more things to put into her dead group.

So she groups each thing into a alive, dead or never alive.

And in the alive group, she has a cat, a plant, and a tortoise.

In the dead group.

This time, she's found a fallen leaf, a dead tree, and a bone.

And in the never alive group, she has a watering can, a teddy and a coin That is amazing grouping, Sophia.

Well-done.

What else do you think she could add to each group? Pause the video now to have a think or time to have a talk.

So what did you decide? Perhaps, she could find some more animals or plants to put into her alive group.

Perhaps she could find that dead rose to put into the dead group or some other dead plants or animals.

And what about the never alive group? Perhaps she could add, like we said earlier, a chair or some curtains.

Did you say the same or something different? Well-done, everybody.

And now, we have our next check.

Aisha has been really busy grouping some things and she's grouped these things into alive, dead, and never alive.

Do you agree with her? And we can see that Aisha has put into the alive group a sycamore tree and a blackbird.

Into the dead group.

She's put a mug and an animal bone and into the never alive group, she's put a toy ladybird and a fallen leaf.

I think you need to look closely at each thing in each group and decide whether she's grouped them correctly.

Pause the video now and come back when you've had a chance to do that.

How did you get on? Let's first of all, look at the alive group.

She's put a sycamore tree and a blackbird into that group.

Do you think that group is correct? Yes, I think so too.

We know that animals and plants are living things, so that's great work, Aisha.

Excellent grouping.

What about in the dead group? She's put a mug and an animal bone.

What did you think about this group? I think you're right.

The animal bone is dead.

It was once part of a living animal that's now died.

But the mug, I don't think the mug should be there.

Where do you think the mug should be? That's right, in the Never Alive group.

Well-done if you said that.

And what about the never alive group? Has Aisha grouped these correctly? Well I can see a toy lady bird and a fallen leaf.

What do you think? The toy lady bird has never been alive, has it? But the fallen leaf, I think you're right.

That was once part of a tree.

That was a living thing.

So actually, that should be in the dead group.

So, well-done if you said that the mug should be in the Never Alive group and that the fallen leaf was alive when it was part of a tree.

So, it should actually be in the dead group.

Excellent comparing and grouping.

Well-done, everybody.

And now we have our first task for this section of the lesson.

Here you can see two caterpillars, caterpillar one and caterpillar two.

And I would like you to compare these two caterpillars.

And Jacob is telling us that when we compare, we ask what is the same and what is different.

So, I would like you to look really closely at caterpillar one and caterpillar two and compare them by asking what is the same and what is different about these caterpillars.

Pause the video now and I can't wait to hear what you've talked about.

Okay, let's find out how you did, shall we? So, we're comparing these two caterpillars.

And you remember that when we compare something, we ask what is the same and what is different.

So Laura has had a look at the things that are the same.

And she says both caterpillars have a long colourful body, eyes and legs.

Great comparing Laura and Lucas has been looking at the things that are different and he's got a lot to say to us.

Lucas says, caterpillar one is a toy.

It has never been alive.

It does not need food, air, or water to stay alive.

It cannot move on its own.

Caterpillar two is alive.

It moves to get food and water and to avoid being eaten by a bird.

Is that what you said too? Did you notice anything different? Perhaps you said something different to Laura and Lucas.

Well, well-done.

Excellent comparing work.

And now we have our last task.

And for this task, we're going to be grouping and I'd like you to group these things into three groups, alive, dead, and never alive.

And these are the things that I would like you to group today.

Apples on a tree, plasticine, a branch from a tree, a puppet, a skull, a baby, a doll, fallen leaves, and an oak tree.

You're going to need three sorting hoops for this task.

One for your alive group, one for your dead group, and one for your never alive.

And as you're grouping, I'd like you to check that you are sure that you are putting each thing into the right group.

So you might like to say, I know that this thing is alive because, or I know that this thing has never been alive because, so pause the video now and get ready to group.

Well, how did you get on? Let's have a look at our alive group.

Now I'm hoping that you remembered that plants and animals are living things.

So in the alive group, you should have oak tree, even though it looks like it hasn't got any leaves, it's still alive and its leaves will come back in the spring.

The baby should be in the alive group.

And the apples, whilst they're still growing on that tree, they're part of that living thing.

And they are alive.

Well-done if that's what you said.

In the dead group, you should have put the fallen leaves.

These were once part of a living plant, but now, they are no longer.

So the fallen leaves are now dead.

And in this group, you should also have the skull.

This was once part of a living animal, but now the animal has died.

So the skull goes into the dead group.

And in the never alive group, you should have the doll and the puppet and that plasticine elephant because these three things have never been alive.

They don't need food, air, or water to stay alive and well-done if that's what you also said.

Great grouping.

So now, we've come to the end of our lesson and these are the things that we've learned today.

Living things are alive.

They need water, food, and air to stay alive.

Something that was once living, but is now dead is no longer alive.

Non-living things have never been alive.

We can compare things and group them into alive, dead, and never alive.

And here in this picture, we can see some dead leaves.

They've fallen from that living tree and now they're dead.

I really enjoyed learning with you today and I can't wait to see you soon.

Bye.
