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.
