Cooper Room



The Cooper children discovered a non-fiction book about blood. We read and re-read the book and the children were fascinated by the pictures of blood, veins, cuts and grazes. This prompted a discussion between some of the boys...
“My bones” said Rocco rubbing his ribs. “Look” he went on, showing us the veins on his wrist, “My blood’s not hurting.”
“Yeah” said Archie.
“In his knee, he hurt it” said Felix pointing to Archie. “I hurt my knee” he said.
Archie held up his elbow and showed us a scratch.
“Look at my veins too” said Rocco showing us his tummy.
“I can see it here going through” said Alec looking at his wrist.
“Look, look, blood moving” said Felix.
“Uugh” exclaimed Rocco.
“Yucky blood!” said Felix.

Kind regards,
