William Harvey

We researched William Harvey because of his importance to our area (most of us were born in the hospital!) and because of his amazing research on the heart. We found that William Harvey was an English doctor in the 1600s who discovered that the heart acts as a pump to send blood in a circle all around the body, instead of the blood being used up and created by the liver as was previously thought. What an aspirational ant!

Our Blood

 To tell the tale further, we took a microscopic look at blood and exactly what is in it. We constructed some blood (using sweets) and researched its different parts. We were all adventurous aardvarks in this! 

How can we keep our heart healthy - Exercise

Having learnt about the heart we wanted to test our heartbeat (or pulse) and how it is affected by exercise.

  

Superfoods

Our hard work on superfoods led us to a wealth of information on how to eat healthily and get good amounts of all our food groups. We shall be responsible racoons in living a healthy lifestyle in order to have healthy blood, hearts and bodies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Forest School

We had our very first Forest School session this term with our Forest School teacher Mr Trenowden. It was absolutely fantastic! We learnt how to safely climb trees; build homes for particular bugs; imagined we were predators and tried to hunt our ‘prey’ (our classmates) we even found and classified a wasp spider!! We cannot wait for our adventures next time….

Creative Curriculum

In our creative curriculum topic this term, we have been learning all about the heart and the circulatory system. We tried to make a scientific model of our blood using: golden syrup (plasma), red blood cells (fruitella), white blood cells (marshmallows) and platelets (M&Ms)!
