Everyone welcome! # Year 4 Science ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG-6160.jpg) 8 November 2023 Our Year 4 scientists had a rather messy time acting out the role of different organs in the digestive system this week. They used a bowl and cutlery to act out the chewing in the mouth. They added their 'chewed' crackers to a ziplock bag filled with water and washing up liquid to churn up the mixture like the stomach. They then passed the mixture through a pair of tights to act like the small intestines. They squeezed the water out of the mixture as they pushed it down. And finally they had to push the mixture out of the end of the tights (the anus). There was certainly a lot of laughter!![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG-6160.jpg) [Year 4](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-4) [Science](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [Enrichment](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/enrichment) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_0932.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-11-07-y4-dt-seasonal-stockings-commence) Previous ### [Y4 DT - Seasonal Stockings Commence ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-11-07-y4-dt-seasonal-stockings-commence) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/E58D817E-A706-44E5-9A7B-9270888D79EF.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-11-09-year-2-maths) Next ### [Year 2 - Maths](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-11-09-year-2-maths) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
