Over the last couple of weeks, in science, the children have been learning about how to keep teeth healthy! We have discussed how certain types of food can lead to cavities and to support the children's understanding we have set up an investigation using eggs. The shell of an egg is made from a similar substance as enamel, and we are looking forward to seeing if there are any changes in the eggs' shell which have been put into jars of water, vinegar, coca-cola and coffee! What do you think will happen?

We have started learning all about the digestive system in Year 4 and thoroughly enjoyed making replica mouths out of marshmallows. Children learnt that the digestive system starts with our teeth, the names of the teeth and where our food travels and how fast! Did you know it takes 6 seconds for your mouthful of food to reach your stomach? We are all looking forward to the Science Museum trip and 'It Takes Guts' show later in the term. 

Over the last two weeks, the children have thoroughly enjoyed learning about sound in science. They have taken part in investigative activities, in order for them to understand how sound travels through different states of matter! 

Last week the children had a fantastic day taking part in our forest school day! Throughout the day, they took part in a number of different activities such as learning how to measure trees, a scavenger hunt and orienteering.  All the activities ensured the children worked well as a team, by using their listening and communicating skills. Fun was had by all and the teaching team were very proud of the children!
