We have used our guiding question to create a double spread report… here’s some beautiful work!

Baking away in Y6
Whilst the rest of the year group are at Kingswood, we decided to do some baking! Lots of accurate measuring of ingredients 😋🧁🍰🎂
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! 😆
Science in MI
This week in our expedition lessons we took part in a science experiment that linked to the work we have done around the heart. We took part in some physical activity and recorded our heart rate after different amounts of exercise. We then analysed our results and discussed the effect of exercise on the heart and our daily lives.
Crew Shields – 6/6/22
A great first day back! It’s almost like we haven’t been away.
Some fantastic collaboration while the children explore the impacts diet, exercise and drugs have on our body.
Heart dissection 🥼
In our expedition lesson today we had the chance to dissect a lambs heart, which allowed us to develop our understanding of the circulatory system even further! We loved it! I am so proud of how the children put themselves out of their comfort zone for this great learning opportunity. Crew Mcloughlin should be so proud; first aid trained and now had the experience of dissecting a heart. We have definitely got budding health care professionals in the making! 🤩
Padlet of science
Today we began our science case study beginning with understanding the circulatory system. Have a look at our padlet full of facts 👩🏼🔬🧑🏽🔬
Heart Dissection
Today, we had the chance to dissect a heart which would allow us to develop our understanding further. We weren’t all delighted at the prospect of cutting the heart open but we had a go. Although, some of us had to leave the room. Definitely, a different experience in the classroom for Crew Shields.
Max/Ellie – I enjoyed exploring the aorta and the vena cava.
Hannah – I loved dissecting the heart and exploring the aorta and vena cava.
Ellie – I learned the muscle on the right side of the heart is thicker because it has more work to by pumping all the blood around the body. The Left muscle wall is thinner because it only has to pump blood to the lungs.
