Digestion Science Experiment

Today we did an experiment to finish off our topic on the human digestive system.  We used crackers, lemon juice, porridge and water to make chyme in the stomach. We then looked at how long our small intestine is (about 7 metres!) and Mrs Hanson squeezed the chyme through some cloths and mesh to show what our intestine does to extract the nutrients from our food and then the waste that is is created and passed on through our large intestine.





Genzui's Amazing Guitar Skills

Genzui has an amazing talent! He performed so well in front of the class that Mrs Hanson thinks he should enter in the talent quest next year! Well done Genzui.




Swimming

Drama with Miss Brosnahan

We had two great drama lessons with Miss Brosnahan. We listened to music and a great story then we had to move to the music at the same tempo as the music.  We had a lot of fun!

Making Pyramids

We made some great pyramids in maths.  Mrs Hanson gave us six skewers and some blu-tak and we were asked to build a pyramid using all six skewers.  Ben was first to work out how to do this.

We were then put in teams of four and were asked to combine our four pyramids to make one bigger pyramid.

It was such a great problem solving and team work challenge.




Cricket

Enjoying some lessons in basic cricket skills.
