Science - What is our Circulatory System?

 Today we began our new unit of learning, 'Healthy Hearts' and explored our circulatory system, learning that we have three main parts; our heart, lungs and blood vessels. We then explored how it works as a double system, with one route taking deoxygenated blood to our lungs to collect oxygen, and one route taking the freshly oxygenated blood to the cells in our body to deliver oxygen. Mrs Loizos was amazed by the children's hard work, focus and skill when learning the parts of the system, which we completed through a 'draw-along'.

 This term the children will be studying South America. Here is a copy of their journey.  During the first part of the lesson, the children recapped the different lines of latitude and longitude they have learnt throughout key stage 2.

Once this was understood, the children identified the latitude and longitude for different places on the world map.
