What goes in....must come out!

Year 4 have been learning all about the Digestive System as part of their science learning.  Yesterday, there were screeches of excitement and disgust as we carried out an experiment to model how the Digestive System works (or in their words - make poo!) 

The incisors chopping up the food in our mouths

Adding some saliva

The molars mashing and grinding down our food

Down the oesophagus

Into the stomach

Into the small intestine

Squeezed along the small intestine

Through the large intestine

And out!!!!

In other learning this week....
We have been learning how to use 'drop in' clauses in sentences to add more detail.  

Our theme lessons this week saw us learning about life in different towns and villages in Mexico.  In groups, children had to decide where they would like to live and put forward a persuasive argument to convince me and Mrs Allen to live either in the town or the village.  Both sides of the argument were put across very well by different groups, although we both opted for the quiet life in the village!
