There is nothing Mr Larkham likes more than exploring animal bones and skulls but today it was organs! He dissected a sheep’s heart and lungs with Year 6 and it was great for them to see all of the vocabulary terms they have been learning in the flesh! They pumped air into the lungs to show how they would work and connected straws through from the vena cava vein to the right atrium and ventricle, and then from the left ventricle to the aorta. It was a fascinating science lesson that led to some excellent questions about looking after their heart and lung health.
