Maple have been investigating the digestive system this afternoon. Everyone was treated to a demonstration using bananas, biscuits, cola and a pair of tights, by Mrs Grindrod. There were many laughs and giggles but we are now all fully fledged experts in the digestive system!

The Digestive System
Today we learnt all about the digestive system. We thought it was very funny creating our own model with Mrs Downing. We could talk about the functions of the mouth, saliva, the esophagus, the stomach, the small intestine, the large intestine, the rectum and the anus. We are all also able to explain what ‘enzymes’ are. Did you know the digestive system starts a soon as we smell food?

Outdoor learning
RE outdoors!
This afternoon, Year 5 had a very thought provoking RE lesson in Kaden’s garden. First the children were asked to find something that is beautiful. We had a range of beautiful things collected: flowers, leaves, rocks, shells, fruit, vegetables, spiders and baby snails.
