Year 4 have had a fantastic time celebrating Science Week! We explored how scientists classify living things by looking at their features and grouping them in different ways. It was great fun thinking like real scientists and sorting different animals and objects.

We also learned more about electricity. The children enjoyed building and coding a circuit, using switches to turn components on and off. We investigated conductors and insulators, testing different materials to see which ones allowed electricity to flow.

We were lucky to hear from some amazing visitors too. An aircraft engineer talked to us about the electronics used in planes and how important circuits are in modern technology. A doctor also visited and showed us the fascinating (and slightly gory!) journey food takes through the digestive system. The class especially enjoyed playing Poo Bingo while learning about digestion!

To finish the week, we also looked at injection moulded engineering and recycling plastics and discussed how we can help protect our planet. It has been a fun, busy week full of exciting science learning!
