Year Five are taking part in the Ready Steady Go campaign with Travelwise and Auckland Transport. Today we learnt how active travel to school is good for our heart and muscles.
What do you already know about your heart?
Alexander "If it stops beating you die"
"It gives you a bpm beats per minute" Lucas
"It pumps the blood around your body" Hazel
Blake "It's in the middle of your tummy"
"It's as big as your fist" Olivia
"Your heart beats 100000 times a day" Cody
"It's not in a heart shape" Harper
Toby "It's rare to get your heart on the right side. It's normally on the left"
After some research about the heart, we learnt how to measure our pulse.
Vinuka "YOur heart beats 100 000 times a day and 3 billion times in the average lifetime".
Then measured it at rest, walking briskly, running and cooling down. Next we displayed our results in a graph.
Gracie "My heart rate went up when I ran'
Lastly we learnt amount the major muscles in our body that get stronger with active travel.
Next time we're looking forward to finding out how active travel is good for our mental health. Have you been walking, biking or scootering to school so you can enter the Travelwise prize draw?
