Today Year Five explored how active travel to school is great for our muscles and our mood. Firstly we focused on muscles:
"There are 3 types of muscles" Maxwell
Lucy "If you lift heavy things your body repairs the muscle"
Caroline "When you carry heavy things your muscles get little tears"
"When you use your muscles they become stronger" Ayla
Lyra "Sitting too long increases your risk of health problems"
Christina "There are 3 types of muscles in our body -smooth, cardiac, and skeletal"
Westlinn "The heart is a muscle"
Gair "You need proper nutrients like fruit and vegetables and meat to grow muscles"
Joshua "There are 600 muscles in your body"
Afterward, we read about how exercise affects our mood:
Jason "Exercise can make you smile and feel happy"
Cloe "Exercise helps create new brain cells"
Nubia "It helps to develop friendships"
We measured our mood before and after exercise and then created a badge to promote active travel.
Yesha "I felt tired, weak, and gloomy before, and after play, I felt cool, cheerful, and energetic
Emily "Before I felt sleepy, joyful, and accepting after play I felt warm happy, and relaxed"
