This term in Science, Stonehenge Class became young anatomists as we learned all about the human digestive system. To help us understand how food travels through the body, we carried out a fun and memorable practical activity using a volunteer pupil as our "patient"!
The children worked together to identify and place the different parts of the digestive system, including the mouth, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine and large intestine. As each organ was introduced, we discussed its important role in breaking down food, absorbing nutrients and removing waste from the body.
The hands-on activity helped the children visualise where each organ is located and how the digestive system works as a connected process. The children asked thoughtful questions, shared their scientific knowledge and demonstrated excellent recall of the functions of each organ.
We were particularly impressed by the enthusiasm shown during the lesson and the way the children used scientific vocabulary accurately when explaining their learning. It was a fantastic opportunity to bring Science to life and develop a deeper understanding of how our amazing bodies work.
Well done, Stonehenge Class, for your curiosity, teamwork and fantastic scientific thinking! 🔬⭐👏
