Science - human growth and development

  • Giraffes have continued their work on the stages of growth and development in humans. This week, they were focusing on changes in old age. 

  • We talked about what we thought we knew about changes in old age, bringing in some prior knowledge of older people that we know.

  • After looking at the facts, we realised that some of out initial ideas weren't quite right. 















    • We decided to make posters to inform people of the things they can do to help them stay healthy in later life. One of the things we can do now is to look after our teeth, so hopefully we will still have them all our life. 



  •  Using Canva, we combined text and images to create our posters.

Enjoying a welcome snack break, we listened and watched out for curlews, skylarks, blackbirds, buzzards and crickets.  We spotted many wild flowers too.

Adventurous activity 1: Let's try abseiling

For our first activity, we headed back towards Taddington and the Monsal Trail at Millers Dale - familiar territory for us.

We listened carefully before getting our harnesses on.  The instructor checked we were all safely buckled up and ready to go. Hmm...some slightly worried looks.  Here we go. Who's brave enough to go first? The bridge over the River Wye is 80 feet high and the first challenge is to climb over the railings.  We did it!  Now we can relax.
