Today in forest school we have been playing one of the groups favourite games - 1,2,3 Where are you? Then we made spinners and necklaces from wood cookies.
In our science learning this week year 6 have been learning about the circulatory system. We started by role playing how the circulatory system works by pumping oxygenated blood to the body to every living cell through the arteries. The blood carries nutrients, oxygen and water. Once the oxygen has been distributed this now deoxygenated blood is pumped back to the heart through the veins. The heart then pumps this blood back to the lungs to receive more oxygen. This process is repeated again and again. The children were very good at acting this out.
A huge well done and thank you to Chloe for doing litter picking in our community in her own time. What a superstar you are! Keep making us proud Chloe and helping to keep our environment safe and healthy.
Today in our Science lesson we learnt about soil layers. We looked each layer and what it is made of. We put materials inside plastic cups to show the soil profile and we labelled each layer. We also discussed different factors that influence how soil is made such as climate, parent material and landscape.

As part of their Rainforest Topic, and to enhance their reading of the class text, "The Explorer", Year 5 enjoyed tasting a delicious pineapple on Friday! In the book, the characters have just discovered the fruits, after eating grubs to survive!
