We are learning about living things and how we classify them. From animals, to plants to microorganisms - we are looking at all aspects of life on planet Earth.
We started by looking at animals and classified them using a taxonomy. We had some skeletons to help us...
We did some observational classification then looked at some different methods for plant classification.
We then classified some plants using our favoured system.
Some people preferred the old fashioned way of comic production.
We created comic strips to show Jenner's unethical scientific discovery using ideas based on his understanding of microorganisms.
Whilst others tried a new skill when making their online comic strips.
In year 6 we have been looking at what makes us healthy. We have looked at exercise and diet and now we are looking at heart health.
We examined chicken and cow hearts - we classified the different parts of the heart and also looked for tell tale signs of poor heart health such as hard fatty deposits.
We explored the dangers of smoking with a little help from Smokey Sue.
