We have been learning about our circulatory system this week. Here we are dissecting the hearts of pigs focusing on finding the four chambers and their entry and exit points.

This week some of our year six children went for a walk/play a we ventured a little further than the playground. Running down hills is fun no matter what your age.
Year 6 had a visit from a secondary school teacher this week who led us through a science experiment where the children had to filter urine. This was linked to experiments carried out by NASA to support their astronauts. *Real urine was NOT used to the relief of the children (and teachers).
Skills academy was a lot of messy fun this week: donut eating with no lip licking, guess the skittle flavour, guess the crisp flavour, guess the chocolate, and sliding an after eight and chocolate digestive into your mouth.
Our science week was full of exciting experiments. The children are investigating how many laces they can gather when they have different restrictions: on their knees, boxer gloves, blindfolded and free as a bird.
The last round of skills academy started very well for the Year 6!
The children enjoyed tasting different foods from Mexico. We were impressed with how adventurous they were at trying the spicy foods. We also enjoyed decorating our ‘Day of the dead’ masks and making our own lanterns.
The children applied their maths knowledge to find out the answers to a variety of questions.
We took our maths lesson outside this week and went on a road trip. We calculated how far we had travelled each hour and then created a line graph to represent our journey.
