Autumn 1 – Week 6 – Science

Stars of the weeks: Annabelle & Nathan I

This week in Class 4, the children have begun their Viking Diary entries. They have pulled from their knowledge of Viking/Anglo-Saxon times to create a normal day to day of their own Viking.

In Science, they completed an experiment to represent the digestive system. They used orange juice, wheat biscuits and water to simulate the stomach and tights as intestines to show how the liquid and nutrients are absorbed.

This week, class 4 went on an exciting school trip to the British Museum. We explored the different rooms focusing on the Vikings and Anglo-Saxons.

They looked at the interesting artefacts discovered at the Sutton Hoo burial site, discovering Anglo-Saxon/Viking burial rituals and the symbolism of the items.
