This week, we were delighted to welcome Burnley Sports Partnership to work with our Year 6 pupils. Their visit linked perfectly with our current Science topic on the circulatory system, where we have been learning about how the heart pumps blood around the body and the vital role exercise plays in keeping it healthy.

Building on our PSHE learning from last term, we also explored the strong connection between physical activity and positive mental well-being. The children took part in an energetic fitness circuit and were asked to rate their mood both before and after the session. After 18 minutes of continuous exercise, we saw a clear and noticeable improvement in how everyone was feeling.
