3C have really enjoyed learning about the brain the past few days! We spend Monday producing art work about the 2 sides of our brain; the left being our learning/ academic side and the right being our fun and creative side. The art work they produced was used as the front cover for their brain booklet where they can store all their learning from the week.
We also had a go at making jelly brains with spaghetti. Over the last few days, we have seen what happens to our brain when it does not receive any water, activity, learning, nurture etc. The result was 24 bowls of mouldy jelly! WOW! Children have used this to appreciate the importance of looking after their brains.
On Monday afternoon we had a visitor in to talk about the importance of protecting our brains and why it is important to wear a helmet when riding a bike. The children are now using this information to write a persuasive text to others on the importance of wearing a safety helmet and the consequences if they do not.
