This week we are learning about the heart. We learned that the heart works very hard to pump blood around our bodies, and it pumps about 2 and a half litres every 30 seconds. We tried to see if we could work as hard as the heart, and pass two and a half litres of water from one bowl to the other in 30 seconds.

We found that it was difficult to pass all the water in such a short time, helping us to realise how hard our hearts work and the importance of making sure we try hard to keep our hearts healthy.
