Enquiry Focus Problem Solving - Y6 became detectives CSI Wombwell. We carried out a hedgehog investigation. Using a range of evidence and sources we came up with a range of hypothesis about what could have happened to a rather unlucky hedgehog and we adapted our theories as new evidence came to light - which helped us solve the problem.
Enquiry Focus: Observation Over Time - As part of our work on the heart and the circulatory system we are trying to take part in exercise every day and we then going to measure our resting pulse rate over the next few weeks to find out if our increased participation in exercise makes a difference to our resting heart rate (bpm). Watch this space we will keep you posted
HUMANS CIRCULATORY SYSTEM AND HEALTH:
We have been exploring what the circulatory system is. We have learnt that our blood is made up of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma. We know our blood is vital in transporting key gases and nutrients around the body and removing elements we do not need. We have studied closely the function of the heart - we know the main sections of the heart and can describe how the hear pumps blood to the lungs and then around the body, We know that blood travels in arteries, veins and capillaries. We have explored the importance of sleep, good nutrition and managing stress in order to maintain health and well being.
We have planned a practical investigation to explore the impact of different levels of exercise on our heart rate. We will be practically carrying out the investigation in PE this week and will be recording our findings ready for analysis back in class.

For our science enquiry last half term we were pattern seeking - pupils were exploring if there was a link between our arm-span and our overall height. This half term our enquiry focus has been research using secondary sources. The children tied this in with our history and PSCHE work researching Remembrance Day and the significance of poppy wearing.
Our main science learning is all about electricity and circuits. W have explored renewable and non-renewable sources of electricity, posed and responded to a range of enquiry questions, looked at parallel and series circuits, revised components of a circuit and have began to build more complex circuits. Our next step is to carry out our own circuit investigations.
