Friday 14th September

This week in science we have started our new topic entitled ‘Keeping Healthy’. Earlier in the week, on Monday, we were introduced to some clients that we will become personal trainers for throughout the topic. A lot of the advice we are going to need to give our clients is going to be based on their diet and so yesterday we played a game to revise what types of food humans and other animals eat. This game was called ‘Diet Riot’ and the aim of the game was to correctly group picture cards of animals into herbivores, omnivores and carnivores using our makeshift Venn diagrams made out of PE hoops.

In the first game (pictured above) the children were in groups of 5 and 6 and had to take in turns running into the middle, where the picture cards were scattered, grab a card and take it back to their Venn diagram, positioning it in the correct section. Once all of the cards had disappeared from the centre, each team then counted up how many they managed to sort and the team with the most (correctly sorted) animal picture cards were the winning team. In the second game (pictured below) each team had to first throw their coloured Frisbee into the bucket in the middle before they were allowed to collect a picture card. Each team also had one member who was just in charge of fetching the Frisbee back for their team.
