In 47, the 4 means 4 tens (40) and the 7 means 7 ones.

Everything is living, dead, or has never been alive. Living things move, grow, need food and water, and have babies. A dog and a tree are living. A leaf that has fallen off a tree is dead, because it was alive once. A rock has never been alive.

A habitat is the home where an animal or plant lives. It gives them food, water and shelter. A fish lives in a pond. A worm lives in the soil. A woodlouse likes dark, damp places, like under a log. A polar bear lives somewhere very cold.

A food chain shows what eats what. A food chain always starts with a plant. In the chain grass, then rabbit, then fox, the rabbit eats the grass and the fox eats the rabbit. An animal that eats only plants is called a herbivore. An animal that eats other animals is called a carnivore.

Animals have babies, called offspring, which grow into adults. A baby cat is a kitten. A baby dog is a puppy. A baby sheep is a lamb. A frog starts as an egg, then becomes a tadpole, then grows into a frog. Humans grow from a baby to a child to an adult.

To stay healthy, we need to eat the right food, drink water, exercise and keep clean. Fruit and vegetables help keep us healthy. Too many sweets are bad for our teeth. Exercise, like running, makes our heart and muscles strong. Washing our hands gets rid of germs.

We choose a material that suits the job. Glass is see-through, so it is good for windows. Metal is strong, so it is good for a bridge. Rubber is bendy and waterproof, so it is good for wellies. Wood is strong and hard, so it can make a chair. Some materials can be squashed, bent, twisted or stretched. Pulling an elastic band to make it longer is stretching it.
