Year 2 - Safety Seymour

This morning we welcomed Vanessa and Safety Seymour into our classroom. This workshop was focused on highlighting how dangerous Carbon Monoxide can be! We explored different places CO can be found in our homes and which appliances could produce CO. We found out the Carbon Monoxide is produced when fuel is not burnt correctly. Red flame is bad , blue flame is good. We learnt the steps to safety if we think Carbon Monoxide might be in our homes. It was great to learn about something new in class and gain knowledge that could be very useful.

Year 6 - What affect do different types of exercise have on my body?

Year 6 looked at the effect different types of exercise had on their heart rate. We started by taking our resting heart rate and then gradually increased the intensity of the activity we took part in. We found out that as the intensity of the activity increased, our heart rates also increased. Based on our previous learning, we concluded that, because the intensity of the activity increased, the more our muscles demanded water, nutrients and oxygen.
