As part of our Healthy Habits topic, Year 5 have been learning about the heart and the circulatory system.
To help us understand the workings of the heart, the Science Department arranged some heart dissection sessions for us in the school laboratories.
Using goose hearts, the children had the opportunity to dissect and explore, in a very hands-on way, the workings and intricacies of the heart.
We would like to thank the Science Department for this wonderful opportunity and experience.
Here are some responses from the children in Year 5:
“I really enjoyed looking at the veins and aorta! I cherished every moment!” Glasha 5 Neptune
“I was a bit nervous at first, but it was interesting and I learned a lot. I am looking forward to more activities like this in the future.” Sophie 5 Wave
“I was really excited to try and cut a goose heart.” Mila 5 Aqua
“I liked seeing what was inside a goose’s heart and especially how stretchy the aorta was.” Athena 5 Cobalt
“I really enjoyed the feel and the touch of the heart. Also, it was interesting to see the goose hear in real life.” Marko 5 Wave
Year 12 have been spending a lot of time in Sports Hall One over the last week. Not doing sport, although they could tell you the science behind it…
There was a fun packed programme for the secondary students remaining on-site, which followed the 5 Co-Curricular strands. Students were immersed in languages, film-making, STEAM activities and cooking. They learned about children's rights and advocacy, and showed their creative talents through artwork. They hiked in the hills and formed friendships across year groups. See the Firefly page for further details and photographs
It has been a very memorable end of the primary journey for our Year 6 students. This last week of term has been jam packed. On Monday and Tuesday, the students performed the end of year production of ‘Olivia’, on Tuesday morning, there was a year group water fight and on Wednesday afternoon, they finally graduated with a special ceremony.
As a community, we've been actively promoting healthy eating habits through our weekly articles about life in the kitchen. With the summer holidays just a few days away and the heatwave this summer, we must all be more mindful of our fluid intake.
