The Human Digestive System in P6/5

As part of health and science this week, P5 from P6/5 have been learning about balanced diets and the human digestive system. They created body maps showing what they thought happened to food in our bodies then they had the challenge to show the process a banana sandwich goes through when being digested. It was a messy process involving cutting for the teeth, mashing and adding water to represent chewing, putting it in a bag and adding lemon juice to simulate stomach acid, then finally passing it through tights to represent food being expelled from your body. All pupils learned a lot and are now aware of what happens when you eat.

P6/5 have been learning about different types of natural disaster. They were keen to find out more about volcanoes and completed many challenges finding out about where volcanoes are and researching the city of Pompeii after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Pupils worked in groups to create their own papier mache volcanoes. We then took them outside and simulated eruptions using coke and mentos. Everyone had a lot of fun but it was a bit sticky!

As part of learning about the solar system, P6/5 were set the challenge to create and label a model of the solar system. The success criteria stated that it must include all planets and the sun, it must be labelled and it must show the correct order of the planets from the sun. Everyone worked really hard and came up with some innovative ideas of how to represent each planet.
