In Science lessons in Year 4, we are studying human nutrition, specifically the digestive system. This week, we have identified where the digestive process starts: the mouth. The children were given soft modelling clay (we ran out of pink and white plasticine- so we had to be creative) and were asked to create a 3D model of what they think their own teeth are like. They then had to model their own teeth (both bottom and top jaws). When creating the models they were asked to think about these questions: How many teeth do you have? What shape are they? e.g. sharp, chiselled, flat, bumpy, spiky, thin, solid, strong, ridged, etc. Here are some of the models created.

Katika masomo ya Sayansi ya mwaka wa nne, tunajifunza lishe ya binadamu, hasa mfumo wa kumeng'enya chakula. Katika makala hii, tutazungumzia jinsi ya kuondoa tatizo la kutafuna chakula kupitia mdomo. Watoto walipewa udongo laini wa kuigiza (tulikosa plastiki ya rangi ya waridi na nyeupe - kwa hivyo tulilazimika kuwa wabunifu) na waliulizwa kuunda mfano wa 3D wa kile wanachofikiri meno yao ni kama. Kisha walipaswa kutengeneza meno yao wenyewe (ya chini na ya juu). "Wakati wa kuunda mifano hiyo, waliulizwa wafikirie maswali kama haya: ""Una meno mangapi?" Wana umbo gani? kwa mfano. mkali, chiselled, gorofa, bumpy, spiky, nyembamba, imara, nguvu, ridged, nk. Hapa ni baadhi ya mifano iliyoundwa.
