Year 6 get to the ‘Heart’ of the matter in Science
Year 6 have been learning about the human heart, exploring the different parts and how they work. To help with our understanding, we had a go dissecting and exploring some pigs' hearts, seeing if we could identify the different chambers and valves.
We were lucky enough to be joined by Phillip Savage an experienced Radiologist who was able to discuss the key features and functions of the human heart by dissecting a pig’s heart as well as sharing his years of experience in working in hospital cardiology departments.
The class found it fascinating - maybe we have some budding cardiologists in our midst!
