Animals including Humans 🧬🥼🦷✨

^{Year 4 are truly fascinated by the inner workings of our digestive system, through a VERY realistic investigation. We aided as our internal muscles to help our ‘stomach’ digest its lunch. We discussed the function of each organ present in the digestion system, as well as the role they play at each stage in using our food for different uses. 🥼✨🧫}

_{Year 4 explored the reaction between starch and amylase from a self led investigation. The children consistently chewed a piece of white bread for 2 minutes, observing the changes at 30 seconds, 1 minute, 1.5 minutes and 2 minutes. The children were able to explain those processes, recording their results. 🧬✏️}

^{Year 4 thoroughly excelled in exploring all things digestion! Through a series of kinaesthetic and written activities, the children were able to explain the role of each organ. 🫁✏️📖 🍕} 

_{Year 4 completed their first ‘self - led’ investigation, in which they observed the ways in which different liquids decay our teeth, building on their knowledge to create a set of instructions on oral hygiene. 🦷🪥✨}

_{What truly talented scientists we have in Year 4! The children categorised animals into Carnivores Herbivores or omnivores, by studying the function of their teeth. From this, they were able to explain which group each animal belonged to. 🦴🦷🐐}
 

^{Year 4 excelled in their first science session of the year, investigating the varying properties of our different teeth: incisors, canines, pre-molars and molars. The children tested different textured foods, consuming it using an isolated group of teeth at a time. 🦷🪥😬🪞}
