Prior to our science topic about the heart and the circulatory system, year 6 watched a BBC Live lesson today. The children were fascinated to find out how the heart pumps around 6 litres of blood around the body per minute. We found out about how the circulatory system delivers oxygenated and deoxygenated blood around the body. We discovered ways to keep our heart healthy too.

What a great way to introduce our topic.
