[THEME SONG ENDS]
>> RACHEL: It’s Body Systems Week, and today we’re going to play
[WHAT’S THAT SOUND THEME]
>> RACHEL: I’m going to play a sound your body makes, and you have to try and guess what it is!
[STOMACH RUMBLE]
>> RACHEL: Do you know what sound this is? Shout it out!
[MUSIC BEGINS]
>> GROUP: A stomach rumble!
>> RACHEL: A stomach rumble!
Switch your brushing to the other side of the top of your mouth…
[SWITCH BELL]
>> RACHEL: and brush your molars in the way back.
When your stomach rumbles, or your tummy growls, it often means it’s time for food.
That sound comes from a part of our body called the INTESTINES.
The intestines are the part of the digestive system, which is the system that turns the food we eat into energy … and then poop!
That rumbling or growling sound is AIR moving around your intestines.
[STOMACH RUMBLE]
Switch your brushing to bottom of your mouth…
[SWITCH BELL]
>> RACHEL: -and brush your front teeth too.
Ready for your next sound?
[CHEWING]
>> RACHEL: Hmmm, let’s hear that again.
[CHEWING]
>> RACHEL: What sound is that?
>> GROUP: Chewing!
>> RACHEL: That’s right, it’s chewing!
Switch your brushing to the other side of the bottom of your mouth…
[SWITCH BELL]
>> RACHEL: -and brush your tongue too.
Chewing is when we use our mouths to break up the food we eat, before we swallow. When we take a bite of something…
[BITE]
>> RACHEL: -we have to break it up into small pieces so we can swallow it. We break up the food with our teeth! That means our mouth, and our teeth, are both a part of our digestive system, even though they’re NOT in our tummies!
