AMAZING 'BLOOD HEART' HOMEWORK!

Look at the FANTASTIC homework that we created in Class 3 this half term for our Blood Heart topic:

For my homework I have made a fitness sheet and a booklet all about the heart. I have written in my booklet lots of different facts about the heart. The most interesting fact that I found out is  that a heart is only as big as a pear!                                                           

For my homework I did a little booklet about the heart. We had six weeks to do it because it was a big topic. The best thing about my heart project is the front page because the heart is red and the I chose to do the writing in red too. I like the second page because it is about giving blood and saving people's lives. I loved this topic!                                            

I found this topic very interesting because it was very fun! We had 6 weeks and we drew diagrams, we did exercise, we cooked healthy food, we made the circulatory system out of playdough. I loved it.                                                                   

I though this topic was so fun because I got to cook, dissect a lamb's heart and do a really big project about it. It was so fun! I also really liked drawing the big person outside and pretending to be the blood running through it.                                                  

I enjoyed our topic about the heart because we got to do lots of different activities, e.g. making fake blood, dissecting a heart, creating a chalk circulatory system and our big heart project. I have learnt the names of the different parts that make up the circulatory system. 

This topic was so fun! We got to explore the human body and find out how it works! My favorite part was the cooking because we got to experiment with different ingredients and make a healthy pizza.                                                              

I have really enjoyed skipping, dissecting the lamb's heart and I've enjoyed researching about heart surgeons. I found it interesting to learn about different types of blood and making blood. 

We have done lots of really fun sports throughout this topic. We have been learning about skipping and how it can keep you healthy. We have been seeing how many skips we can do in 2 minutes. We also created a really cool dance.                                      

I have thoroughly enjoyed this topic. I normally prefer other subjects to Science but I have found this one very interesting. I loved it when saw the lamb's heart because we got to feel it!

I loved this topic and really enjoyed spending time on my project. One of the most exciting facts I learnt was that out of all the 75 trillion blood cells the cornea doesn't get any of it! 

I have really enjoyed this topic, especially when we made fake blood and dissected a heart. I learnt about the most dangerous surgery in world, the abdominal aortic aneurysm, for my heart project. 

I really enjoyed drawing the heart in my project; it helped by actually seeing a real heart. I really like science so I have found this topic very interesting!

Chalk fun!

Our final task for the Blood Heart topic was to create a chalk circulatory system on the playground and we had to recreate the movement of the blood around the body. We used blue cards to symbolise deoxygenated blood and red cards to symbolise oxygenated blood! Have a look at our fabulous work:

Circulatory System

This afternoon we had great fun making the circulatory system out of playdough! Look at what we created:

Wear Red Day!

Our innovate challenge for our 'Blood Heart' topic was to raise some money for the British Heart Foundation. After studying the heart, we have realised the importance of having a healthy heart, so we thought it would be a good idea to help some people that aren't as lucky as we are.

On Thursday 5th February we all came to school dressed in red and white clothes. During the afternoon, we held skipping workshops for Class 1 and 2. We showed them all of the skipping skills and games that we have learnt to help them learn to skip.

On Friday 6th February we all brought different pieces of fruit to school and chopped them up to create a delicious fruit salad! We sold it alongside the cakes at break time! It was yummy! We also worked hard to make lots of loom band bracelets. We sold these at break time also to raise some more money.

We raised a fantastic £82.17 for the British Heart Foundation!

 Well done and thank you to everyone!

Cooking at Caedmon College

We have been fortunate enough to have use of the kitchen facilities at Caedmon College on a Friday afternoon for this half term. 

We have been making cheese and tomato pizzas today. 

We had lots of fun and really enjoyed tasting them! 

Next time we are going to add some extra toppings to our pizzas, but we need to make sure they are healthy as it links in with our topic work!

Blood!

We made some artificial blood today! It was interesting to see all of the different parts that make up the blood. We made some fantastic mind-maps about all of the things we learnt. Have a look:

Dance

As our new topic is 'Blood Heart', we are going to try extra hard this half term to keep healthy. One way we are going to keep healthier is by making an exercise plan, so that we do a little bit more exercise each week than we would normally do. We are going to make sure we do lots of different exercises this half term too. We have been really lucky to have Hannah come into Class 3 on a Wednesday for this half term to teach us some street dancing.

The Heart Dissection

We have started a new topic called Blood Heart! It is very exciting and a little bit gory. To help us understand the different sections of the heart, we dissected a lamb's heart. We drew the heart, then we cut into it to see the blood vessels, left and right atrium and left and right ventricle. We also added water into the various blood vessels at the top of the heart to work out which were to lead to veins and which were to lead to arteries. Most of us really enjoyed touching and cutting the heart. We couldn't believe how hard the fat felt around the heart compared to the muscle!!
