Jake's Story about Digestion

The Process of Digestion by Jake Rm 18

This is the story of the digestive system.

The mouth is where  your teeth, tongue and saliva  break up the food that you put in your mouth. Then it goes into the oesophagus which squishies and squashes the food. Next it goes into the stomach  and acid  dissolves and breaks it down further. After that it goes into the small intestine which breaks it down even more. But it still needs to be broken down a little more so it goes to the large intestine. From both  the small and large intestine the good vitamins go into the bloodstream and get pumped around the body by the heart. The waste left in the large intestine comes out of the body.

That is how your food is digested.

Winnie's Digestion Report

The Process Of Digestion

By Winnie Room 18

You are about to read and learn about The Process of Digestion.

The mouth contains teeth, saliva and a  tongue that breaks down the food into tiny little bits.  

The Oesophagus squishes and squashes then pushes the food into the stomach.

In the stomach acid breaks the food  into into tiny little pieces

Now it is moving through the Small Intestine.The sugar and vitamins and nutrients gets absorbed into the bloodstream.

The heart pumps the blood all around the body.

The  rest of the food becomes waste in the Large Intestine then………Pop! It goes out of your body.

That’s how food goes through your body.

The Process of Digestion

By Angie Room 18

You are now about to learn about the digestion process.

Imagine you are picking an apple off an apple tree. You bite into the juicy sweet apple. Crunch Crunch! You are using your tongue  teeth and saliva. Now you are swallowing a mouthful of apple. Your bits of apple are now going through your Oesophagus. The Oesophagus squishes and squashes the apple into the Stomach. Now it breaks into smaller molecules from the acid. Now it is starting to squish into the Small Intestine which jingles and jangles it into the bloodstream. The Heart pumps the blood all around the body. Then it goes into the Large Intestine. Now it goes through the Large Intestine then ……...POP! Now it’s out of your body.

That is how food goes through your body.

Samantha's Autumn Poem

Autumn Poem

Autumn leaves swirling like dancers on a stage

Dew feels all wet on the morning grass

Breezy air brushes past my face

Trees with their deciduous branches

Red, orange, gold and chocolate brown leaves Swaying from the trees

Children jumping, laughing and diving in piles of leaves

Birthdays with rainbow colours filling the fresh Autumn air

Beautiful blue skies as I lie down in the  lush green grass

Autumn wishes in my head thinking what will be in store for me the next day!

Autumn fills the air

With the smell of a new day

Sparkly grass from the morning dew

Autumn leaves flutter to the ground

Soft and silky

Leaves all shapes and sizes bright and

clear

Shiny grass and dew melting in the afternoon sun

Gentle wind brushing against my face

Emily's Autumn Poem

Autumn Poem By: Emily Room: 18

Red leaves

Brown leaves

Softly drifting down

Leaves as crispy as crackers

Evergreen trees

Deciduous trees

Swaying side to side

Trees as colourful as rainbows      

Dry grass

Damp grass

Squelching as you walk

Grass as damp as soggy chips

    

Purple leaves

Orange leaves

Speedily drifting down

Leaves as delicate as glass

                                                                                

Karthiga's Autumn Poem

           Autumn Leaves   by: Karthiga Room 18

Autumn Leaves

Ruby red

Buttercup yellow

Rusty brown

Gold leaves shimmering

Hanging tightly on a brown wrinkly tree

Long leaves

Short leaves

Thin leaves

Fat leaves

Zig-Zag leaves

In the Autumn air.

Leaves like tissue paper

Leaves belly flopping on the ground

Leaves like Acrobats

Leaves like Ballerinas

Trees surrounding us

Deciduous trees

Evergreen trees

Multi coloured trees

Leaves rustling together

Trees swaying side by side

Grass damp under my feet

Leaves prickly like hedgehogs

Lush green grass

Foggy grass from the morning dew

Swish! Swish!

Make a wish!

Autumn is in the air!
