In class we checked our resting pulse rate. We found our pulse and counted how many beats we felt in 20 seconds and then multiplied this by 3 to get our bpm. We did this 3 times and then found the average to gain a more accurate result. Next, we checked our pulse rate, but this time after 2 minutes exercise. We again found the average. We then compared our results. We found that exercise causes an increase in pulse rate (heart rate). Exercising causes our muscles to contract more often and require more energy. As more glucose and oxygen is needed, blood flow to the muscles increases.

We visited Manchester Arena to take part in the Young Voices Concert. We enjoyed singing along with 8000 other children and also famous people like Tony Hadley and The Shires.
