As part of our Science topic on the human body, we discussed how important blood is and the functions it has. We also discussed the make up of blood. To help us visualise this, we made a blood smoothie. We used raspberries for the red blood cells, marshmallows for the white blood cells, hundreds and thousands for the platelets and pineapple juice for the plasma. When we put this all together, it showed us the different parts that make up our blood. We then blended it all together, which helped us see how we see blood now. Most people did try it but we had mixed opinions on the taste! Feel free to try it at home and see what you think!
