In this topic, we will be sorting animals into groups based on their similarities and differences. We will learn more about the different groups of plants and animals and use their characteristics to help us classify them. We will be finding out about micro-organisms and seeing how they can be categorised.

• I can give reasons for classifying plants and animals based on specific characteristics
• I can describe how plants, animals and micro-organisms are classified into broad groups according to common observable characteristics and based on similarities and differences
