Year 2: Animals, including humans
Statutory requirements:
Notice that animals, including humans, have offspring which grow into adults
Find out about and describe the basic needs of animals for survival.
Notes and guidance (non-statutory):

They should also be introduced to the processes of reproduction and growth in animals. The focus at this stage should be on questions that help pupils to recognise growth; they should not be expected to understand how reproduction occurs. Example: spawn, tadpole and frog
