We have been learning about the journey our blood takes around our bodies. We mapped out this journey on the playground and travelled around the route. We carried signs to show if we were oxygenated or deoxygenated at different points of the journey.
The route is:
1) Right Atrium (deoxygenated)
2) Right Ventricle (deoxygenated)
3) Lungs (becomes oxygenated)
4) Left Atrium (oxygenated)
5) Left Ventricle (oxygenated)
6) Muscles around the body (gradually becomes deoxygenated)
7) ...Then back to the Right Atrium!
