The children are currently studying the human body as part of their IPC units and this hands on workshop allowed them to explore some of the processes and systems that occur in their body.
The children looked at the importance of hygiene and the 'germ detectives' soon found a host of germs all over the children and their surroundings which had spread incredibly quickly. They thought about the human defence of getting rid of germs and to illustrate this made some snot to take home! The day also included looking at human and animal skeletons as well as the digestive and circulatory systems. The highlight for some children was dissecting a real heart so they could look more closely at the different parts, relating this back to their prior learning.
Here are some photographs from the day. A greater selection can be found in the photo gallery of this blog.
