Half Term Project Details and Homework Ideas
YEAR 6 – Blood Heart
The new projects run for the second half of the summer term. Homework contributions can be made throughout the half term, please make sure your child brings in something that they have worked on at home. Work is due in by Friday 4th July.
Below are a list of ideas for each project, try one of these or something else project related.
- Create an exercise plan for maintaining a healthy heart.
- Research information and plan ideas for a weekly menu of food that your heart would love. Spinach, porridge, blueberries, salmon and soya protein are all heart-healthy.
- Songwriters are often inspired by the heart. Create a playlist of songs about the heart, with a fact about each song and artist! Or, even better, write your own song about the heart!
- Think about what we mean by ‘heart-stopping’. Write about a ‘heart-stopping’ moment in your life. Describe to another person the bodily sensations experienced and then capture it in words as accurately as you can.
- Find out about some famous heart surgeons. What do you need to study to become a heart surgeon? How long would it take if you started right now? What skills and personality would make you successful in this role?
- Find out about the size and structure of a human heart and compare it to the size, structure and number of hearts in other animals. (Worms have five!)
- What does the phrase ‘Blood is thicker than water’ mean? Write a short story using this as a title.
- Find out about the different pulse points on the human body including the side of the neck (carotid), wrist (radial), top of thigh (femoral) and elbow crease (brachial). Test the different pulse points – which one has the strongest pulse?
- Draw a diagram that shows how blood circulates around our body
- Create a fact file about the different organs and components that make up the circulatory system
- Build a model of the heart or lungs
