Science Learning in Year 6 on Friday 2nd October 2026

On Friday 2nd October 2026, the Year 6 children studied the respiratory system in their Science lesson, focusing on the heart and pulses.  Key vocabulary included heart rate, oxygen, artery, exercise and circulation.

The children had to record their pulse rate at a resting state, then after some slight exercise, then repeat.  After recording their findings, they discussed whether it was a fair and accurate test or not. All of the children were in agreement that healthy eating, regular exercise are beneficial to a happy and healthy lifestyle.
