John Bull Confectioners and Beach Trip! (28.6.22) 🍭🍬🏖

What a fantastic (and tiring) day we have had at Bridlington. Firstly, we visited the interesting John Bull Confectioners sweet factory. We saw how hard sweets are made and even had the chance to create our own rock. This took a lot of perseverance and effort to be able to role and mould the rock. Throughout the tour, we were lucky enough to eat a variety of sweets, chocolate and biscuits made within the factory. We even wanted to eat our rock that we had made.

After lunch, we then went to the beach. We loved our time playing with our friends on the glorious sand, under the beautiful sun. Although it was windy, it did not stop us having fun. After burning off a load of energy, we were treated to a delicious ice lolly, which helped us cool down. We would not have been able to have this, had we not raised an amazing amount of money from our cake sale a couple of months ago.

Our gallery walk of beautiful work 🖼

Throughout case study 2 science we have been given time to reflect and answer our guiding question ’How can a healthy lifestyle impact your body and mind?’ Through answering this we used our writing skills and wrote a science report. Check out all of Crew Mc’s beautiful work below… we even gave critique focusing on our beautiful presentation and gave out prizes for the top 3 designs. We just need to respond to writing feedback and work with our peers to revise our writing to ensure Y6 quality.

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.
