Good afternoon all!
We have had such a fabulous week this week; fun and very practical! Not only have we had great fun as always in our rugby and hockey lessons, but we have been very hands on in our science and active in English too.
In science, we re-created the digestive system as we helped banana and biscuits travel through the stomach (a plastic bag) and the small and large intestines (tights). The children were horrified at the final result as we followed the food all the way to the end of the large intestine!! The children took on the role of our teeth with their fingers, added acid in the stomach (fresh orange juice) and used 'peristalsis' to help the food along. It was great fun and very messy; a great learning experience though!
We are now focusing on 'The Secret Garden' in our literacy and have had a super time re-enacting the roles of Mary Lennox, Basil, the Officer's wife and 'lovely' old Mrs Medlock! The children absolutely loved it; stage fright was certainly not a problem!!
Finally, yesterday we explored 'pitch' in music, as we played and examined both tuned and untuned instruments. The children developed an understanding of how instruments can be used to change the pitch of music.
Here are one or two photos!
Have a super weekend,
Mrs Matthews, Mrs Scott and Miss Hewitt xx
