Inside Our Bodies!

9th Nov 2025
 
Primary 3 have been learning all about our bodies! We have started to look at the different organs inside our bodies. First, we used the iPads to use the virtuali-tee to explore all the bones and organs inside our bodies!

This week we have learnt about our heart and lungs! 🫁🫀
First, we looked at our lungs and how they help us breathe. We did an experiment to see who had the strongest lungs - boys or girls! We talked about a fair test, and how we all had to follow the same rules! We had to hold our breath, and used a timer to record the time in seconds. Then we recorded our answers in a table. The girls won! 💪🏻🫁

Then, we looked at our heart! We discussed the heart’s job, to pump blood around our body! We were able to listen to our heart beat using a stethoscope. 🩺

We were surprised that our heart looks differently than we thought! We looked at an anatomical picture of the heart, and compared it to how we normally see a heart drawn! Finally, we created a collage of a heart shape using tissue paper! 🫀♥️
