Year 6 Science

Year 6- Animals Including Humans

In Year 6 this half term we have been learning about ‘Animals Including Humans’. The children have found this a very interesting topic!

After all the work that the children have completed during this half term they are now able to:

  • identify and name the main parts of the human circulatory system, and describe the functions of the heart, blood vessels and blood
  • recognise the impact of diet, exercise, drugs and lifestyle on the way their bodies function
  • describe the ways in which nutrients and water are transported within animals, including humans.

The children really enjoyed learning about the double circulatory system. They drew some fantastic diagrams and even made an edible diagram which they thoroughly enjoyed making and eating!

They also liked looking at the impact that exercise has on the heart. The children took part in a variety of exercises and monitored the impact that this had on their heart rates.

Also, they explored the impact that poor lifestyle choices had on their bodies and were able to recognise the differences between short term and long term effects on the body.
