On Monday, Year 4 visited the Think Tank to learn about the human body and the digestive system.

We took part in a workshop were we explored and discussed different parts of our bodies. We started by identifying our teeth and discussed how to keep them clean and healthy. We learnt about a healthy balanced diet and organised different items of food into the 5 key groups made up of carbohydrates, protein, milk and dairy product, fruit and vegetables and sugar and fats.

We learn that the digestive system is a pretty important part of our body. Without it, we couldn’t get the nutrients we need to grow properly and stay healthy. Next time we sit down to lunch, we’ll know exactly where our food goes from start to finish!

In the afternoon, we discovered the different areas of the science museum and we were even lucky enough to play in the fascinating science garden.
