Year 6 Science: The Journey of Digestion and The Circulatory System

Year 6 Science: The Journey of Digestion

This week, Year 6 became scientists as they investigated how the human body transports vital water and nutrients to stay healthy and strong. To understand this complex internal process, the pupils rolled up their sleeves and created a brilliant hands-on model of the human digestive system.

Step 1: Breaking It Down

The experiment began with the mouth and stomach. The children used a fork to vigorously break up food particles, simulating the mechanical digestion that happens when we chew. They added a splash of water to the mixture, beautifully demonstrating how saliva and stomach fluids help to dissolve and transport food down the digestive tract.

Step 2: Entering the Intestines

Next, the pupils explored how the body separates the good stuff from the waste. They carefully poured their crushed food mixture into a pair of tights. In this clever model, the tights represented the small and large intestines.

Step 3: Absorbing into the Bloodstream

The real magic happened when the children squeezed the tights over a plate. As they applied pressure, water and nutrients seeped through the tiny gaps in the fabric and collected on the plate below.

This perfectly demonstrated how the walls of the small and large intestines allow essential nutrients and water to absorb through into the bloodstream, leaving the solid waste behind. It was a fantastic—and wonderfully messy—way to see human biology in action!

Year 6 Science: The Circulatory System

Finally, to complete our Science unit, we discussed systems within the body.  We then made a matching card game to help us identify and name each part of the circulatory system.

We cut out the cards, shuffled them and challenged each other to match them up.

Year 6 Celebrate at the Olympic Park

Year 6 Visit the Olympic Park

To celebrate the completion of their SATs, the children were rewarded with a trip to Stratford to go to the Olympic Park. The children spent the morning running around, playing in the sand and climbing on all of the obstacles that were available to them. It was wonderful to see the children showing excellent reciprocity and supporting one another on the equipment. 

After lunch in the sunshine, we walked to Stratford's 'Splash Park' where the children thoroughly enjoyed playing in the fountains together.

We were so proud of how well-behaved the children were on the trip representing Broadford Primary School! 

A big thank you to all of our volunteers and, again, a massive well done to our Year 6 pupils for their hard work- we are so proud of you all!

Year 5 Trip to The Imperial War Museum

 

The train strikes could not stop us this week from finally visiting the Imperial War Museum.

This trip truly cemented our learning journey this half term as we have been learning in about World War 2 in History with the curriculum link in Literacy.

'Look the poster has the name of the book chapter - Mothers: Send them out of London' - Stiven, Birch

The children were very excited when we arrived. We initially had a talk about various artefacts from WW2 which the children were able to handle and one of our children became the ARP (air raid patrol)!

Some children reclined in a Morrison shelter, whilst others preferred the comfort of the Anderson shelter.

As always we had a great day and they were a credit to our school. Well done year 5

Year 5 certificates 8.5.26

 

Well done to all the superstars who achieved their certificates this week!
