This week, we made our own versions of the circulatory system, showing where the oxygenated and deoxygenated blood travels to reach our lungs, and the rest of our body.

This week, as part of our circulatory system topic, we dissected a lambs heart.

The children worked in groups, to dissect and find the atriums and ventricles of the heart.

Class 14 have enjoyed dissecting hearts today and learning all about how the heart works and really enjoyed seeing the inside of the sheep heart we dissected.

Well done class 14.

This week in science Class 12 have debated whether they argue with Galen or Harvey’s theory of the circulatory system.

This week we concluded our science unit, ‘animals including humans - our amazing bodies’, by learning about nutrition and food groups. 

We used identifying and classifying to sort the foods into the different food groups. We discussed what nutrition each group provides the body and how they…

This week in science we have been researching endangered animals. 

We worked in pairs to find out about their habitats, what changes have made them endangered and what we can do to stop them becoming extinct. 

We then used our oracy skills to present the information to the rest of the class,…

This week in science the children used a traverse to share and summarise facts about changes that happen in old age.

Nursery children have been excited exploring our school's garden. We looked for different plants, herbs and vegetables.

We also used magnifying glasses to look for tiny insects hiding under logs, in plants and in the bug hotel.

Well done to this pupil in class 3 for growing their own vegetables at home!

Today we investigated whether people with longer femurs could jump further. We made predictions, measured the femurs of everyone in our groups and then measured how far we could jump. 

We made sure that we all jumped from the same spot and did the same kind of jump. 

We found that some of…

Class 11 went on a bug hunt and was identifying our school garden.

Today in Science class 11 worked together to create their own questions for a key to sort living things based on their characteristics.
