P1 continued their learning in their Science topic today: Our Incredible Body. This week, they were learning about the heart, its position in our body, its important job and what happens to it when we exercise.
To start our lesson, we explored what we already knew about our hearts:
Kalvin – “It bleeds!”
Aimee-Leigh – “It beats!”
Flynn – “It is near the lungs!”
The children had fun throughout the lesson listening to their own hearts beat through a stethoscope and comparing how our heart felt before and after a short burst of exercise. We even played with some pretend blood and droppers to simulate how the heart works as a pump . Great work P1!
