Blood Cells

Date: 9th Sep 2021 @ 2:46pm

Year 6 really enjoyed their afternoon of 'Blood Smoothies!'

The children learnt how blood transports materials around the body and protects it against disease. 

Our smoothies consisted of:

• Cheerios - Red blood cells which transport oxygen.
• Marshmallows -  White blood cells which protect against disease.
• Oats - Blood platelets which help the blood to clot and repair a cut.
• Yellow liquid - Plasma which is a liquid that carries these cells. It also transports important nutrients.
