As part of our healthy eating lessons this week for Health Week we looked at artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo. Giuseppe painted using fruits and vegetables.

Today P1 guessed how many teaspoons of sugar were in some popular snacks. The recommended daily amount is 6 teaspoons of sugar – we were surprised with some of the results.

As part of our topic P1 have been looking at how to keep our bodies healthy. Today they designed some exercises to help look after our muscles and tried them out at P.E.

Today we looked at how our body makes us poo. We started off the lesson by eating a jam sandwich.

Miss Stevenson demonstrated what happens in our mouth by mashing a jam sandwich up with a little water (saliva) in a bowl.

We then saw the sandwich work its way down the Oesophagus into the Stomach. In the Stomach a little Acid was added (Vinegar) and the Stomach was squeezed to break down the food.

The sandwich then left the Stomach and went into the Intestines. It travelled through the Intestines and the Nutrients (water) squeezed through the wall of the Intestines (tights) into the body. The pupils squeezed the digested sandwich along the “Intestine” and finally at the end watched the “poo” arrive.

Today we learnt all about our Guard Dog, Ape and Wise Old Owl sections of our brains. We then spoke about ways of relaxing our Guard Dogs.

Try this yoga at home to understand a little of what we have been talking about.
