• Heart and circulatory system
• Blood

the character of God, and to the Church as the Body of Christ.

5. During the term there is scope for cross-curricular work: -

• English - Writing poems or songs of gratitude to God.

• PE - Awards for effort in fitness training lessons.

• Home Economics - Pupils could discuss/receive instruction/conduct research on good dietary
habits, and perhaps invite a member of staff, a parent or a governor to a specially prepared
healthy lunch.

• First-aid - A person trained in First Aid could lead a practical lesson, and respond to the many
questions that are likely to arise. A doctor could visit for a ‘Body Question Time’, including the
topic of illnesses and diseases.
