This week we are continuing to learn about our bodies but not just our bones but what we can do with our bodies and what they look like.
In the outdoor water tray we’ve been exploring and discussing how blood travels around our body. We’ve learned new vocabulary such as “arteries, veins and organs”. The children gained an understanding of how the heart pumps blood through the veins and arteries around our body and to the main organs. The children proved to be extremely knowledgeable and created their own veins and arteries using pipes to transport blood to different areas of the body.🫀
Indoors we used the mirror to look at the colour of our eyes and length of our hair as some children were curious about different colours of eyes.
Gym Tuesday 🤸♀️
Some children enjoyed participating in exercises involving balance and co-ordination. We briefly discussed the purpose of our muscles and used the iPad to research information and fact’s relating. Did you know the human body has over 600 muscles?👀 🦵💪
Woodland Wednesday🌳
We began exploring the local woodland area and took part in risk assessing and decision making. As a group they showed great listening skills and practiced Safe Sam, Healthy Hamble and Responsible Racoon from our SHANARRI indicators.
Science Education Day is a great reminder to celebrate and say thank you to all of those people who share their passion for science with kids and adults everywhere and in all venues.👩🔬
We made skeleton hands using pasta, our own hand prints and glue.🦴
As part of world science day, the children participated in paint splatting and observed what gravity does to the paint 🎨
We discussed our five senses before closing our eyes and smelling/touching what was inside the jars. 🍊 🍃🌾😖These included orange peels, lavender, mint leaves and vinegar 🤭
