Osmosis – How does it work?
This afternoon, we have been exploring the process of osmosis so the children can understand ho the nutrients from our food are absorbed into the blood stream. This was a tricky concept to understand but we were resilient and asked for further diagrams or explanations when we needed clarity.
More Science in MI…
Today MI investigated osmosis! We put a few drops of food colouring into water and watched how a paper towel absorbed it. This showed us how nutrients are absorbed through villi in the small intestine into our bloodstream. We linked this back to our previous learning and then to the guiding question.

Paul Chrystal Author Visit (13.6.22) 📚
Today, LKS2 were very lucky to have local author Paul Chrystal lead a discussion about our Guiding Question. Mr Chrystal has published over 120 books and we wanted to get his expertise on sweets, of which he had tonnes of knowledge to offer. During the talk, Mr Chrystal looked answered the Guiding Question ‘Why is sugar not so sweet?’ through a health angle. He talked us through how sugar is not always the healthiest, even though we all love sweets.
Thanks for a great talk Mr Chrystal, I know LKS2 appreciated the knowledge and tips to enjoy sweets healthily. Check out our images below for how the talk looked! 😆

LKS2 Jars!
Hi everyone,
As part of our Expedition, we are hoping that instead of recycling your jam jars, Year 3 and 4 would be able to have them!
They could be the size of jam jars, preferably, as a reference.
Thank you in advance,
Crew LKS2 🙂
Newspaper planning in MI
Today we started planning our newspaper reports. We thought about a catchy headline and tried to use alliteration. We thought about the 5 W’s creating our introduction. When then chotted down ideas for PP1 and PP2. Great work by all this morning 🙂
