Last term, Year 4 enjoyed learning all about Animals Including Humans: Digestion and Food. One of our investigations focused on dental hygiene, where we explored how effective toothbrushes are at cleaning our teeth. We learned why brushing properly is so important and thought about how we could carry out a fair test to compare different toothbrushes.
We also discovered how animals have different types of teeth depending on what they eat and had fun exploring how animal poo can give us clues about their diets!
The children also used models to explore the human digestive system, learning what happens to food as it travels through our bodies.
