Circulatory System
Year 5 and Year 6 have been exploring the blood, what it is made of and how it works. We have learnt about red blood cells, white blood cells and plasma and what their role is.
We have been really creative and acted out how the blood works, travelling through the lungs to collect oxygen, moving through the heart and being pumped out around the body distributing oxygen and nutrients. The children really enjoyed the lesson and can hopefully tell you all about it at home.
Help at home – Ask your child about what the red blood cells, white blood cells and the plasma do. Can they draw you an image to show their understanding of how blood moves around the body?
