Year 6 The Circulatory System
Year 6 have been investigating the circulatory system and have studied its structure and functions. They were tasked with imagining the journey of a blood cell through the different parts of the heart and body. They could be as imaginative and dramatic as they liked. They have brilliantly combined their creative writing skills with their scientific knowledge.

It was time. I flowed through the inferior vena cava into the
heart, beating loudly every second or two. I shot into the right
atrium, and I was pumped through the valve into the right
ventricle. The right ventricle pumped me so hard and I flew up,
through the giant ribcage, inside the lungs. “I survived part 1 of
the heart!” I gasped, taking in oxygen. But I was still going,
flowing back down the body into the pulmonary vein, straight
through to the left atrium and slid through to the left ventricle.
That was the point when I thought it was over, but then a huge
BOOM sound rung in my ears and I was whooshed at what felt
like 500 miles per hour, round the body, delivering oxygen to
organs. I flew through the intestines, into the liver, and all over
the place. “So that oxygen wasn’t for me.” I thought, terribly
upset that I didn’t get to keep it.
I finally flowed back through the inferior vena cava back to the
heart, ready to start all over again.
