Hello everybody.

My name is Mrs. Hart.

I'm really excited to be learning with you today.

We're going to work through this lesson together and I'll be helping you all the way through it, and I think we're gonna have a great time.

Welcome to today's lesson, which is from the unit Living Things and Where They Live.

Today's lesson is called Living Things and Movement.

And by the end of the lesson today, you're going to be able to describe movement as something that all living things do.

Some of the learning in today's lesson is brand new, but we're going to work really hard together and have fun along the way.

So here we have the key words that we're going to be using in today's lesson.

I'm going to say them first, my turn, and then it will be your turn to say them back to me.

So our first keyword today is, my turn, living thing.

Your turn.

My turn, alive.

Your turn.

My turn, life process.

Your turn.

My turn, move.

Your turn.

Some of these words might be new to you, but don't worry, I'll explain them as we go through today's lesson.

Today's lesson is in two parts and we're going to start with the first part of our lesson, living things.

Everything in the world around us can be sorted into groups.

Things can be living or non-living.

And here we can see two sorting hoops, one to put all of the living things into, and one to put all of the non-living things into.

What would you put into each hoop? You might like to have a look around the room that you're in at the moment.

Can you see any living things? Can you see any non-living things? Pause the video now to have a think or have a chat with your partner, and come back when you've got some answers for me.

So what did you decide? What did you want to put into the living hoop? I looked around me and I saw some living things.

I found this plant.

Are there any plants where you are? Perhaps you spotted some people around you, or perhaps there's an animal, a dog, a cat or a hamster, or even a goldfish close to where you are.

These are all living things too.

And I had another look around to see what I could find that was non-living.

I found this mug.

What did you find? When scientists classify things, they put things into groups or they say which group something belongs to.

And we've got two photographs here and we can see there's a scientist observing an animal, having a really good look at it to decide which group he might like to put it into.

And we can see another scientist observing a plant, and again, she'll have a very close look at it to decide which group she thinks it needs to go into.

And this is classification or classifying things.

Animals and plants are living things.

Do you know what this means? We'll find out some more as we go through this lesson.

And now we have our first check for understanding.

Jun has been really busy classifying and sorting things into living and non-living things.

He's got two sorting hoops, and in the first sorting hoop with living things, he's put a slide, a tiger cub, and some daffodils.

Into the second hoop, the non-living things, he sorted a mug, an aeroplane, and a chick.

Do you agree with Jun? Has he put these things into the right groups? Pause the video now to have a think or a chat with your partner, and come back when you think you know the answers.

Did you have a very close look to see if Jun has sorted everything correctly? Well, let's start with the living hoop, shall we? Things in the living hoop should all be living.

So I can see there's a slide.

Hmm, is a slide a living thing? No, I don't think so.

I don't think that should be in there.

What about a tiger cub? Well, we said plants and animals were living things, didn't we? And I know that a tiger cub is an animal, so yes, that's a living thing.

What about the daffodils? Well yes, the daffodils are a plant and we also said that that was a living thing, so that was great sorting, Jun.

Let's have a look at the non-living things, and this time I can see a mug, just like the mug I showed you earlier when we were talking about non-living things.

I know that's definitely a non-living thing.

And then I can see an aeroplane.

Well, aeroplanes are really big, an aeroplane can fly, does that make it a living thing? No, it doesn't, so that's great sorting so far.

And what about the chick? Is the chick a non-living thing? Well, hang on a moment, we said that animals and plants are living things.

So no, the chick should not be in the non-living hoop.

Unfortunately, Jun made two mistakes here, but well done if you spotted those.

Living things are alive, and alive is one of our keywords today, and we're going to find out a little bit more about what that means now.

So I can see three things in the pictures.

I can see a plant, I can see some books, and I can see a pencil.

Which of these is a living thing? Which of these is alive? Pause the video now to have a think and have a talk with the person next to you, and come back when you think you know which of these is a living thing.

So, what did you decide? Well, we said earlier in the lesson that plants and animals are living things, and I could only see one plant or animal here.

Yes, it's the plant, similar to the plant that I showed you earlier.

This is a living thing.

Well done if that's what you said too.

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

If you have a look at these photographs, can you see the different living things finding food, water, and air? I can see the kingfisher has caught a fish and is about to eat it.

The impala is having a drink of water, and the barn owl is flying through the air and I'm sure it's breathing as it goes.

These are all things that we need to stay alive as well.

You need food and water and air.

You're breathing all the time, even if you don't realise it.

Here's our next check for understanding.

I wonder if you're going to remember what do living things need to stay alive? Is it A, food, water, and air, B, food, water and fire, or C, toys, water and air? Pause the video now to have a little think and then come back when you have an answer.

So, what did you decide? Did you have a think about the things that you need to stay alive? Well, I'm hoping that you remembered that living things need food, water, and air to stay alive, and that's great work if that's what you said.

Well done.

And now we have another check.

Which of these do you think is the odd one out and why? Remember, today's lesson is about living things.

So while there might be lots of answers, I would like you to be thinking about if these are living things or not.

Pause the video now and come back when you've had a chance to have a look at each of these.

We've got leaves on the ground, a snake and some shoes.

So which one do you think is the odd one out and why? So, what did you decide? Did you remember that I said today, we are thinking about living things? Well, let's have a look at these three.

Do you observe any living things? Yes, the snake is a living thing.

So today I think that the snake is the odd one out.

It's the only one that is a living thing.

The shoes are a non-living thing.

And the leaves on the ground, well, they were once part of a plant and they were alive, but now they've fallen from that plant, so they are no longer alive.

So well done if you said that the snake was the odd one out today.

All living things do the same things to stay alive, and we call these things life processes.

Can you say that? I'll say it first, life processes, and now you say it.

And there are some photographs here that show us a few of these life processes.

We can see these birds, they're called egrets and they've got some eggs.

The next picture, we can see some cow dung.

Then I can see a human leaping.

This lady looks like she's jumping over the hurdle.

And in the last picture, I can see a horse that's breathing.

Can you see any life processes in these photos? Let's have a really close look, shall we? The egrets have some eggs, they've had some offspring, so perhaps we know that living things give birth to live young or lay eggs.

The next one, the cow dung.

Well, I think we know that all living things have to get rid of their waste somehow, even us, so perhaps this is something that all living things do.

The human leaping, well, we can see that she's moving, so perhaps movement might be something that all living things do.

And the last one, the breathing, this is something that all living things do.

Living things might breathe in different ways, but they do all breathe in order to stay alive.

Well done if you spotted any of those.

And here's our next check.

All living things do the same things to stay alive.

These are called, is it, A, life promises, B, life produces, or C, life processes? I wonder if you can remember what we were just talking about.

Pause the video now to have a think or a chat with the person next to you.

Did you remember? Let's finish this sentence, shall we? All living things do the same things to stay alive, these are called? Life processes, and well done if you remembered that.

And do you remember we saw the cow dung, the egrets with their eggs, the human leaping and the horse breathing? These are all life processes.

And here's our first task.

I would like you to draw three living things that you can see.

So take a look around in the space around you.

You might need to go and have a look out of a window.

And I'd like you to draw three living things that you can see.

And once you've done that, Laura's saying she'd like you to discuss with a partner how you know that these are living things.

You might like to have a think about how we know that something is alive.

You might like to have a think about the life processes we've just talked about.

So I'd like you to find paper, pencils or pens, and to draw three living things that you can see.

I'll see you in a minute.

Well, how did you get on? Did you have a really good look around you? I wonder, did you remember we said earlier that animals and plants are living things? Perhaps you did.

Perhaps you saw some similar things to me.

So I drew another child that was in my class, and when I looked around, I also noticed there was a snake plant in the corner of the room.

It's a type of plant, so I drew the snake plant.

And then my class have a hamster, so I've drawn the hamster as well.

What did you see? Did you see other people? Perhaps your teacher or another grownup.

Did you see any plants growing around you? Perhaps you saw some out of the window, and perhaps you saw some animals nearby.

If you're at home, you might have a cat or a dog or another pet.

Or if you're at school, perhaps you have a class hamster, or a stick insect, or a goldfish.

How did you know that these things were alive? Did you talk about the fact that they all need food, air, and water to stay alive? Did you talk about the different life processes, perhaps things that were moving or breathing? Well done if you did.

And here we have Alex and Izzy.

They've been doing this activity too.

Alex says, "I know that a hamster is a living thing because we give it food and water to keep it alive, and I can see it breathing." Izzy says, "I know that the plant is a living thing because it needs water to stay healthy.

When we forget to water it, its leaves turn brown." Well, I hope you've remembered to water your plants.

Let's see what's next, shall we? We're now onto the second part of our lesson, and this part of our lesson is called living things and movement.

Life processes are the things that all living things do, and we talked about these a little bit in the first part of our lesson.

Do you remember that human that was leaping? Well, one of these life processes is called movement.

A movement is when something is moving.

I'm moving now.

If we have a look at these three living things, we've got an adder, which is a kind of snake, a zebra and a goldfish.

Do you know how each of these living things moves? I'd like you to pause the video and have a think or a chat and come back when you've worked out how each of these moves.

So, what did you decide? How does the adder move? You might have said that the adder doesn't have any legs, so it slides or slithers along the ground.

The zebra, well, I can see the zebra's got four legs.

The zebra could walk, perhaps it could run.

Did you say the same or perhaps something different? And the goldfish, well, we know that a goldfish lives in water, so a goldfish moves by swimming.

Well done if that's what you said too.

Living things can move by themselves, and here we've got two photographs.

The first one is of some sunflowers, and sunflowers absolutely love to get sunlight.

That's why they're called sunflowers.

And they follow the sun during the day.

They move so slowly, it's really hard for us to see, but if you ever go past a field of sunflowers in the summer, have a look and I bet that all the flowers are facing in the same direction towards the sun.

And the other thing we can see is a sloth, and the sloth is climbing along this tree.

When things move by themselves, this is a sign of life.

Do you remember we said that movement was a life process? It's something that all living things can do.

Living things move for different reasons, but it's always to achieve something, so it might be to get food or water, might be to find shelter or to seek out sunlight, and we can see some living things here.

The rhinoceros has moved to go to find some water.

The ladybird is moving as it's eating that leaf.

And the tulips, again, they're growing up towards the sun.

Can you think of any other ways that living things move? Perhaps some ways that you move.

I bet you move in lots of different ways, skipping, running, hopping, jumping.

And now we have our next check for understanding, and this is another odd one out question.

And remember, today's lesson is about living things.

So I'd like you to have a look at these three photographs.

The first one is of a helicopter, the second one is of a butterfly, and the last one is of some birds.

They're called house martins.

And I would like you to have a think about which of these is the odd one out.

How do you know it's the odd one out? What makes it different to the others? So pause the video now to have a think and a chat about this.

So what did you decide? Well, what I noticed was that all of these things can fly.

A helicopter can fly in the sky.

I've seen butterflies flying around in my garden, and the house martins, we can see in the photograph that they can fly.

But which is the odd one out? Well, the butterfly and the house martins are both living things, so although all of them can fly, the helicopter does not move by itself.

It's not a living thing, so I think this is the odd one out today.

If you look really carefully at the photograph of the helicopter, you can see at the front, it has a pilot who's flying the helicopter.

The helicopter can't move by itself.

It needs somebody to fly it and to operate it.

Some living things move so slowly, that it's hard to see that they're moving, and we can see a fern and some tulips here.

I bet you didn't know that they were moving, did you? So here we have a fern leaf that's slowly unfurling, and the tulips, they're on the window ledge and they're turning to face the sunlight, and you can see that all the flowers are facing more or less towards that window.

However, when we observe them over time, which means watching them for a long time, we can see that they move.

So even though if we just glance at them, we think, "No, they're not moving," actually, they are, just really, really slowly.

Many plants move so slowly that we find it hard to see it.

However, there are some plants that do move quickly enough for us to observe.

Do you remember that observe means looking at or to notice? Have you seen one of these plants before? This is called a venus flytrap, and a venus flytrap is a plant that traps and eats flies.

So you can see that the leaves of the venus flytrap look a little bit like a mouth.

And when a fly flies into one of these, it will quickly snap shut and traps any flies that land on it.

We have a video to watch.

There aren't any flies going into this fly trap, but we've used a pencil to show you if the venus flytrap thinks that a fly has landed on it, we can see it moving.

So let's watch this video now.

So we can see the pencil pretending to be a fly, and it closes straight away.

So some plants move so quickly, that we can see it.

And now we have our next check for understanding.

Sam and Andeep are observing a plant in their classroom to see if it's moving.

I think they're sitting very still and looking very closely at this plant.

They've watched it for a while, and they've decided to talk about what they've noticed.

Sam says, "I think that plants are living things.

They do move very slowly, so it is hard for us to see." Andeep does not agree with Sam and he says, "I don't think that plants are living things because they don't move." Who do you agree with? Pause the video now and have a think and a chat.

Do you agree with Sam or with Andeep? So, what did you decide? Who do you agree with? Well, it's Sam that's right.

Plants are living things.

But do you remember that most plants are moving so slowly, it's really hard for us to observe.

So even though it looks as if the plants are not moving, they are and they are living things.

It just makes it really hard for us to see.

So well done if that's what you said too.

And here's our next task.

I have a question for you.

If something moves, does this mean it is a living thing? And there are four photographs I would like you to have a really good look at.

We've got a photograph of a kingfisher, which is a type of bird, a photograph of a car, and we can see it's driving really quickly in this photograph, a cheetah and a glove puppet.

And I would like you to look at each of these photographs one at a time.

They're all moving, but does this make it living? If it's a living thing, how do you know? And if you think it's not a living thing, well, how do you know that? So I'd like you to have a really good look and a really good think and chat about this, and then come back afterwards and we'll have a chat about what you found out.

Pause the video now.

Okay, let's have a look, shall we? How did you do? Well, Aisha's been doing this activity too, and Aisha says, "I think that the kingfisher and cheetah are living things because they're able to move on their own to achieve something." Do you remember we said if it's achieving something, it's something that it wants or needs to do, like eating or drinking, and it's able to move on its own.

Aisha says, "The kingfisher can dive into water to catch fish to eat, and the cheetah can run away if it's being hunted by a lion." Did you say the same as Aisha? Perhaps you said something different.

Well, well done if you noticed that the kingfisher and the cheetah are living things, because they can both move on their own.

So Sofia has been doing this activity too, and she's going to tell us all about the car and the glove puppet.

She says, "Not all moving things are living things." So I guess even though it looks like in the photographs, both of these things are moving, it doesn't necessarily mean they're alive.

Sofia says, "The car and the glove puppet are moving objects, but they cannot do this on their own.

A car has an engine and it needs a person to drive it, and the glove puppet needs a person to move it around.

They cannot move on their own, so they're not living things." Did you say that too? Perhaps you noticed that the boy is holding the glove puppet.

His hand is inside it, so he's making it move.

Perhaps you came to school this morning in a car and your grownup had to drive it.

So perhaps you already knew that these things cannot move on their own, and although they move, they're not living things.

Well done if that's what you said today.

So now we've reached the end of our lesson, and these are all the things that we've learned.

Everything in the world can be classified into living or non-living.

Do you remember that when we classify things, we sort them into groups.

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

All living things do the same things to stay alive, and these are called life processes.

Living things can move by themselves.

This might be to find food or water, or to escape from danger, and this is a sign of life.

Well, I hope you've enjoyed finding out all about living things and movement today.

I've really enjoyed teaching you today, and I can't wait to see you again soon.

Bye.
