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! 🔬⭐👏 [Class Updates](https://www.nyland-pri.swindon.sch.uk/blog/tag/class-updates) [ Stonehenge Class Update](https://www.nyland-pri.swindon.sch.uk/blog/2026-10-20-10-15-stonehenge-class-update) [Avebury Class Term 1 Update ](https://www.nyland-pri.swindon.sch.uk/blog/2026-10-21-09-56-avebury-class-term-1-update) ### School News - [Latest News](https://www.nyland-pri.swindon.sch.uk/news) - [Class Updates](https://www.nyland-pri.swindon.sch.uk/blog) ![Nyland School](https://files.schudio.com/nyland-school/images/logo/Image_copy.png) **Nyland School** Nyland Campus Nyland Road, Swindon SN3 3RD Tel: 01793 535023 ### Useful Links - [Privacy Policy](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/privacy-policy) - [Cookies](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/cookies) - [GDPR](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/about-our-trust/gdpr) - [Modern Slavery Statement](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/modern-slavery-statement) - [Equality Act](https://files.schudio.com/the-white-horse-federation/files/documents/policies/08_SP_V1_Equality,_Diversity_and_Inclusion_Policy_2026.pdf) ### Useful Links - [Behaviour Policy](https://files.schudio.com/the-white-horse-federation/files/documents/04_SP_V9_Behaviour_Policy_2026(1).pdf) - [Careers](https://www.nyland-pri.swindon.sch.uk/about-us/careers) - [Curriculum ](https://www.nyland-pri.swindon.sch.uk/learning-education/curriculum/overview) - [Contact Us](https://www.nyland-pri.swindon.sch.uk/contact) Proud to be a part of [**The White Horse Federation**](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/) [![](https://www.nyland-pri.swindon.sch.uk/images/logo/TWHF.png)](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/) Registered in England: Company Number: **08075785** Registered Office: Plymouth St, Swindon SN1 2LB © Copyright 2023–2026 Nyland School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.nyland-pri.swindon.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
