1 What we can see in this picture? - Suggested answer: Sea, sky, clouds, rocks, waves, sunset, rockpools. What parts of our environment can you see in this picture? - Suggested answer: Water, sea, rocks. What living things can you see in this picture? - Suggested answer: None! How might the parts of the environment in this picture be connected? - Suggested answer: Water has air in it. The living things in the rockpools need waves to wash over them. Water is evaporated from the ocean and drawn up into the sky to form clouds and eventually rain. What does this picture make you wonder? Picture information: Rocks and sea by Paul Gauguin, Style: Post-Impressionism. Source:

2 What we can see in this picture? - Suggested answer: Fields, trees, sky clouds, mountains. What parts of our environment can you see in this picture? - Suggested answer: Grass, small plants, trees, air, clouds. What living things can you see in this picture? - Suggested answer: Plants. How might the parts of the environment in this picture be connected? - Suggested answer: Plants absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. Plants need moisture from the air and need soil to grow and nutrients from the soil. Clouds produce rain that keep plants and soil healthy. Do you like this picture? Why or why not? What does this picture make you think about? Picture information: Wheat Field with Cypresses at the Haude Galline near Eygalieres by Vincent van Gogh, Style: Post-Impressionism. Source:

3 What we can see in this picture? - Suggested answer: Ducklings drinking from a bowl. What parts of our environment can you see in this picture? - Suggested answer: Animals, water, plants. What living things can you see in this picture? - Suggested answer: Ducklings, grass, other plants. How might the parts of the environment in this picture be connected? - Suggested answer: Animals need to eat plants and drink water. Some plants need their pollen from flowers or seeds from fruit to be eaten or spread by animals so that they can reproduce. Plants need water to grow and be healthy. Animals need plants to convert carbon dioxide (that they breathe out) into oxygen (that they breathe in). Differentiation for Year 2 - What stage of the life cycle of ducks does this picture represent? What are all the stages of the duck s life cycle? - Suggested answer: This picture shows ducklings, which are the juvenile form of ducks. The lifecycle of ducks begins with the egg, which then hatches and a duckling emerges. The duckling then matures into an adult. Female adults will then lay eggs. Picture information: Ducklings by Pyotr Konchalovsky, Style: Realism. Source:

4 What we can see in this picture? - Suggested answer: Sunflower, flowers, grass, leaves. What parts of our environment can you see in this picture? - Suggested answer: Plants. What living things can you see in this picture? - Suggested answer: Plants. How might the parts of the environment in this picture be connected? - Suggested answer: Some plants need the shade provided by other plants to grow. Plants that have died or leaves that fall onto the soil break down and help to keep the soil healthy. The plants will then absorb the nutrients in the soil. Do you like this picture? Why or why not? Picture information: The Sunflower by Gustav Klimt, Style: Art Nouveau (Modern). Source:

5 What we can see in this picture? - Suggested answer: Sun, sea, rocks, grass, sky. What parts of our environment can you see in this picture? - Suggested answer: Sunshine, water, rocks, plants. What living things can you see in this picture? - Suggested answer: Plants. How might the parts of the environment in this picture be connected? - Suggested answer: Water has air in it. Water is evaporated from the ocean and drawn up into the sky to form clouds and eventually rain. Plants need sunshine for energy. Rocks and soil help to filter water entering the ground, and rocks provide shelter for living things. What does this picture make you think about? Picture information: The Sun by Edvard Munch, Style: Expressionism. Source:

6 What we can see in this picture? - Suggested answer: Rain, river, trees, hills, path. What parts of our environment can you see in this picture? - Suggested answer: Water, plants, soil. What living things can you see in this picture? - Suggested answer: Plants. How might the parts of the environment in this picture be connected? - Suggested answer: Water is evaporated from plants, rivers, lakes and the sea and is drawn into the sky to form clouds and rain. Plants need water to survive. Soil helps to filter water and keep it clean when it enters the ground. What does this picture make you think about? How does this picture make you feel? Picture information: The Yerres, Rain by Gustave Caillebotte, Style: Impressionism. Source:

7 What we can see in this picture? - Suggested answer: Deer, forest, sun, lake, clouds. What parts of our environment can you see in this picture? - Suggested answer: Animals, plants, water, sunshine, soil. What living things can you see in this picture? - Suggested answer: Animals, plants. How might the parts of the environment in this picture be connected? - Suggested answer: Water is evaporated from plants, rivers, lakes and the sea and is drawn into the sky to form clouds and rain. Plants need water to survive. Soil helps to filter water and keep it clean when it enters the ground. Plants need sunshine for energy and to grow. Animals need plants to eat and to feed the things they eat. Some plants need the shade provided by other plants to grow. Plants that have died or leaves that fall onto the soil break down and help to keep the soil healthy. The plants will then absorb the nutrients in the soil. Do you like this picture? Why or why not? Picture information: Deer in a Clearing by Albert Bierstadt. Date unknown. Style: Luminism. Source:

8 USE THIS IMAGE LAST - QUESTIONS: What we can see in this picture? - Suggested answer: Children, trees, smaller plants and grass. What parts of our environment can you see in this picture? - Suggested answer: Plants, people, sunshine. What living things can you see in this picture? - Suggested answer: Plants, people. Do you think people are a part of our environment? Why or why not? - Suggested answer: People need our environment for air, food, water, shelter, medicine, clothes and just about everything else we use. We have always been a part of our environment, even though many of us now live a long way from wild nature. How might the parts of the environment in this picture be connected? - Suggested answer: People need plants for food, clothing, medicine, shelter and water. Plants absorb the carbon dioxide that we breath out and release the oxygen that we breath in. Differentiation for Year 2 - What stage of the human life cycle does this picture represent? What are all the stages of the human life cycle? - Suggested answer: This picture shows children. The lifecycle of a human begins with babies, who then grow into children, then teenagers and then adults. The adults can then have babies of their own.
