The Heart Rate Challenge!
You'll notice the straw on my wrist stuck on with bluetack! I put it on before and after playing football on yard during break time and the straw moved on my wrist alot quicker after exercise.
Want the Science bit?!!! When you are exercising, your muscles need extra oxygen—some three times as much as resting muscles. This need means that your heart starts pumping faster, which makes for a quicker pulse.
So..... this is a simple challenge : Do any exercise that makes your pulse go ! Work until you get tired and then keep going until you get very tired! Push yourself guys!!!

Subject 3: Art : Live Lesson @ 1.30pm
Topic: World War II: Art Propaganda
Propaganda is information that is used to promote or publicise a point of view or a cause. It was widely used during World War II. We are going to look at it in Art form today.
Task:
1. Study the examples of WWII propaganda and think about the following questions : Do you think these posters influenced people during World War II? How would the posters make people feel? Are all these posters trying to influence the same people ?
Propaganda to persuade people to become a nurse (to look after the wounded people from war)
Propaganda about food shortages to persuade people not to waste it.
Propaganda urging American soldiers to retaliate to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour
This Propaganda is a very popular advertising slogan for companies nowadays.
2. Study the examples of Coronavirus propaganda that have been inspired by the WWII posters.
Do you think these are effective? We are hearing a lot every day about the frontline hospital workers who are working tirelessly to keep the virus away. They all need our support, starting with something very simple - staying at home!
3. Today in art we will be making climate crisis posters in the style of WWII posters!
Get your thinking hats on for some climate poster ideas, and you can make your own on the Googlemeet at 1.30!
You will need an a4 sheet of paper for your poster and some extra paper for brainstorming ideas, a pencil, a ruler and some colours.
Don't forget to email pictures of your work to us after the lesson!
