Stupendous Steppers (Ages 5-7) * Suitable for Home Learning*

Aimed at Key Stage One, this resource looks at activity levels and how, through practice, the body may perform better. Linked to Pe and the topic of animals including humans, it also aims to develop enquiry skills. Meet the character Fizzy and her dog Dizzy, who want to learn more about the human body and set children a series of questions to investigate. Detailed lesson plans include presentations, activities and games, homework ideas and a reward card. The lessons are:

  • Step on it! - carry out a scientific investigation and make predictions
  • Quality time - improve reaction times, collect data and draw scientific conclusions​
  • Stepping out - make and test estimates and compare their results with those of others.
