Heart dissection!

14th June 2022Miss Blackham

These superstars worked so hard in science this afternoon. They had previously learnt about the structure of a heart and then they began to look at the structure more closely by dissecting the heart. They were all so intrigued and we only had a few queezy stomachs! Well done 6B! I can’t wait to read your writing tomorrow based on today’s scientific work!

Healthy lifestyle, healthy arteries experiment

14th June 2022Mrs Keegan

5K have been experimenting to see the affects of a healthy and unhealthy lifestyle on our circulatory system. The groups had different widths of piping for the arteries and different equipment to represent how quickly or slowly the blood could be moved around our bodies.

We are physicians!

6H have had an afternoon of blood and gore! Well done to you all! However, should I ever need heart surgery, I think I shall to head to hospital rather than come to you guys! We clearly have some budding doctors in the class. Special shout outs to Dahin and Kiera who displayed so much curiosity and intrigue that I didn’t think they would ever stop exploring. Shout out also for Lola. Prior to doing this dissection, she was adamant that she would not be able to join in, but she did and she was fabulous!

We are medical detectives!

9th June 2022Mrs Haycock

6H have been considering the medical techniques that were used, both successfully – to some degree – and dramatically unsuccessfully, in the 1600’s and those which have been used in more recent years. They were able to sort the techniques used into the categories: THEN, NOW and BOTH.

Well done guys!

First Aid Training

9th June 2022Miss Topliss

This afternoon, Year 5 took part in their First Aid Training. Many thanks to Zoe, who delivered the training. The children have learned about the recovery position, how to perform CPR and what to do if someone chokes. They also know how to bandage an injury. They all brought home a First Aid certificate, as well as an informative booklet filled with activities to reinforce today’s learning. Thank you to parents and carers for supporting this event.

Swimming Notice

9th June 2022Miss Topliss

Next week, swimming will not take place for Year 5. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

On Thursday 30th June, the children will practice life saving skills. Therefore, they will need a t-shirt, light leggings or light pyjamas to wear in addition to their normal swimming kit.

We are mini first aiders!

9th June 2022Mrs Haycock

6H have loved the mini first aid training they experienced today. Thank you to Zoe who led the sessions. All children have received their qualification as mini first aiders – great work guys!

Extra shout out to Blake from Y5.

Miss Topliss said, “Should I ever need CPR, I hope Blake is around – he was straight on it, just fabulous!”
