Class 13 – Digestive System

In our expedition lessons, we have been learning all about the digestive system! We have been looking at the different organs that are involved in the digestive system and learning all about how food travels from our mouth all the way through our body.

You could have a look around your house or even venture outside on a walk. Count how many different red things you can find to share with your crew on Monday. You could even take some pictures or draw what you can see.

Celebrating British Science Week

Today marks the start of British Science Week and we can’t wait to get involved when we get back to school next week. Each crew will take part in a fascinating fingerprint investigation led by the school council. We will also have science club attending the coffee afternoon (Wednesday 15th) to share some of the exciting things we get up to at science club.

In the meantime, there are a few challenges you can get involved in at home and bring into school next week.

For Tuesday – Create a timeline of scientists through history. What are some of the greatest discoveries and who made them?

For Wednesday – Invent like a Victorian. Channel your inner inventor and design something to make life at home easier.

For Thursday – See and Eat Vegetables. Investigate the connection between how vegetables grow and how they end up on your plate.

You could also find your own investigations to try! Send any pictures of you being a scientist to your phase leaders. We can’t wait to see what you get up to!

Class 13 – Healthy Eating 🍔🍟

Today in expedition, we have been researching some of the different food groups that make up a healthy balanced diet. The children looked at nutrients such as protein and carbohydrates and found out why our body needs them.

This afternoon, we have been looking at food labels and working out what constitutes a healthy meal. The children used the McDonalds nutrition calculator to find our how much energy, fat, sugars and salt was in each meal and whether or not this would be a healthy option for us.

Class 13 – Rounding Decimals

Over the past few weeks, we have been spending time rounding decimals in maths. We have looked at how we would round numbers with one decimal place to the nearest whole number and then played rounding bingo to create a bit of friendly competition!
