This week we have started our new topic Sport Science. We will be learning about what Sport Science is and the effect sport has on our body.<\/p>\n
To start the topic we have been learning about the function of our heart and the circulatory system.\u00a0We looked at our resting heart rate and then our heart rate after exercising. We did this before and after our daily mile which is really linking into our new topic. We also learned about our 4 chambers and the functions of arteries and valves.<\/p>\n
We enjoyed the experiment testing our muscle connection to our brains. This is one you could try at home! We worked in pairs with one partner blindfolded holding two cups with equal amounts of chickpeas. As the experiment progressed we added chickpeas to one cup gradually until we could detect the difference and work out which cup had the most chickpeas in it.<\/p>\n
Our focus in literacy this week was the novel Pig Heart Boy and we had to write a diary entry showing empathy towards the characters in the story. This really made us think about feelings and emotions.<\/p>\n
In maths we have been finding percentages\u00a0linking our knowledge of fractions. We also looked at the properties of circles focusing on radius, diameter and circumference. We could draw accurate circles using our compass after being given one measurement.<\/p>\n
Have a lovely long weekend boys and girls, you deserve it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
