The Disgestive System
Today we have been learning about the digestive system. We have explored what the digestive system is and what organs are used in the digestive system and we worked together to put the digestive system back together.
Horror trip to the dentist!
Year 3 have had great fun imagining a horror trip to the dentist. They will use this next week to inspire their writing! Take a look at the ‘freeze frame’ moments from their acting lesson. #LovePlover
Wonderful Week!
What a great week we have had in LKS2 this week!
We began the week by setting up our scientific experiment, to investigate the impact of different substances on our teeth. We did this by covering eggs in different liquids – coke; milk; water; and orange juice. We looked at the results yesterday and looking at the reactions of the egg shells, it is safe to say that coke and orange juice are not good for your teeth! We have to make sure we brush our teeth well after drinking them!
We continued our learning about how to make Doncaster more healthy, with an expert visitor – Mr Price a paramedic. The children had lots of great questions and were fascinated by what Mr Price had to say.
We are looking forward to what more we will learn next week!
We will see you all on Tuesday!

Practising PE with Year 4
We have been developing our sporty skills this afternoon in Year 4.
Miss Lotysz, Mrs Pass and I were really impressed with the way children were working on improving the accuracy of their throwing and catching. There was also some great critique to help each other improve.
It would be really helpful if children could bring PE kits to school on Monday and leave them for the week, especially with our current expedition about health.
Have a lovely bank holiday weekend and I will see you all on Tuesday.

Don’t dodge the dentist!
Miss Goodwin has been teaching us about the power of advertising today! The children loved her catchy slogan, ‘Don’t dodge the dentist!’ They have then gone on to create their own posters encouraging other children to visit the dentist. They worked so hard! Here’s a quick picture of Kostja’s poster, don’t you just love the illustration?! #LovePlover
Thank you Mr Price
Today, Mr Price came into school to talk to us about his job as a paramedic. We had lots of interesting questions to ask him about his job and how we can make Doncaster more healthy. Thank you Mr Price for answering all of our questions. #LovePlover
Thank you Mr Price!
Year 3 had a wonderful visit from Mr Price (and Mrs Price) today, who told us all about life as a paramedic. The children loved hearing all about Mr Price’s job, how he saves people’s lives and how he thinks we can help make Doncaster more healthy. Mr Price gave us some great tips on how to take care of our friends if we think they might be hurt. He also answered many of our questions! Thank you to Mrs Price for organising this for us, what a fun afternoon! #LovePlover
LKS2 investigate ‘How clean are your teeth?’
We have had a great week in LKS2 this week learning all about our teeth.
In English we have been comparing diary entries, looking at an extract from ‘A poo, a gnu and you’ and ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’. When then wrote our own diary entries around visiting the dentist.
In Expedition, we have learnt the names and functions of the different teeth, as well as what a tooth is made from – but best of all, we investigated how clean our teeth are using disclosing tablets – that created a few giggles!
Hopefully parents, you won’t have a battle getting the children to clean their teeth this weekend!

4G’s Scientific ‘Eggs’periment
Today we have started a scientific experiment to see what effect different substances have on our teeth.
We set up a fair test by using an egg to represent our teeth and placed it into cups of milk, coca cola, water and orange to see if any changes occur to the egg.
We have made our scientific predictions and we will be measuring our results by comparing the eggs with each other in a later lesson.
Check back later in the week to find out the results.
