Today we measure our lung capacity using a water experiment. We tried to empty as much of the water out of the bottle as possible.

We also had a game of Blow Football and then the children decided to try and make their own courses to blow their balls around on. Some boys even decided to add some addition calculations.

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 continued to study the brain and looked at mindfulness. We then drew a picture from a simple line or shape. Mrs Hosie then taught us about Chemical Reactions.

We also read Rosie Revere, Engineer. Learning about what Engineers do. We then designed our own buildings which had to stand by themselves and have an opening door.
