Everyone in school here at TX had such a great day yesterday during science day. In Year 4, the children put into practise what they had learned from all their electricity lessons with Ms Mary. Thank you to all the parents that were able to come into school at the end of the day to see what the children had been learning.
To end the Science topic ‘Moving and Growing’, on Tuesday 4T planned, carried out and evaluated an investigation on what happens to our heart rate as we exercise. The children worked in pairs to investigate, with the roles of ‘skipper’ and ‘timer’. The skipper had to skip for 5 minutes and take their pulse for 15 seconds after every one minute of skipping. In this practical activity the children explored how their bodies work and concluded that as you exercise your heart beats faster to carry oxygen to your muscles.
