Today, Years 5 and 6 have had a hands-on Science session where they have observed and then dissected sheep hearts. Children were able to name many of the parts and saw the valves, aorta and 'heart strings' to name a few in real life. They were also able to compare the sizes and thickness of the muscles on each side of the heart. Almost all children participated and some children even said that it was something they wanted to do every day!
