Matters of the heart....
“You can feel your heart” said Ashraf. “Yeah when you run real fast you can hear your heart” added Jesse. Maybe that white part pumps the heart up and down” suggested Ryan. “How does the blood pump around when you run?” asked Daniel H. “When you walk it is slower and slower, when you run it goes faster and faster” explained Zach. Your blood it goes in your legs and head and all over your body” said Oliver. "The red part goes around and then it runs out so it goes blue and back to the heart, the red part has oxygen” explained Jesse. “Do you think our heart looks like this?” asked the teacher. “It’s a much bigger heart because a cow is bigger than a person” answered Jesse. “Is it still beating?” asked Oliver. “No, but we can pretend like boom boom boom, the cow is running” suggested Ryan.

The children were very interested in the REAL cows heart that we had in the classroom, they poked and prodded and discussed all matters concerning the heart!
Just a reminder, if you have a health check appointment on Wednesday, please bring along your blue book, the health checks will take place in the art room.
