Our heart and pulse

In science we have been learning about the heart and lungs.



 We’ve completed a lot of fun activities over the past few weeks.

One lesson we tried different exercises then measured our pulse.

These included; lying down, walking, hopping, skipping and running as fast

as we could on the spot.

We found our pulse increased as the heart was working faster to

pump more oxygenated blood around the body.




We have also created fact files and looked at games on the computer.

For the past couple of weeks we have also been learning to play rugby!


We've had such fun, although it's very tiring.
We've tested our pulse before and after and found it had increased as our hearts
have been working hard.
