How hard does your heart work?

In Year 6, we have been learning about the circulatory system. Firstly, we measured our heart rates before and after exercise. Then we looked at what happens when blood gets pumped round the body. We really understood just how hard our heart works through drama. Our ‘heart’ people had to keep passing oxygenated and de-oxygenated blood to the correct places.

We know how important exercise is for us all to keep our hearts healthy. It is a good thing we enjoy it in Year 6!
