This morning the children of Base 1 took a closer look inside our bodies in the Life Education bus. Inside the bus, we met Helen (Life Educator), Harold and The Brain. The Brain taught us about how messages are sent around the body and back to our brains again. It does this in a system called the nervous system. We looked a little bit deeper into our bodies and learned how our lungs work, the large and small intestine, the liver, as well as the heart, veins and arteries. After this the class discussed how to look after our bodies and of the negative effects smoking and alcohol can have on the human body.
It was clear to see that the children really enjoyed the experience. At the end of session, the whole class got the chance to meet Harold, as we made our way back to class. Afterwards, the children were heard saying things like,’ That was so cool,’ ‘I really loved it,’ the brain is so powerful – it makes us move’.
Our personal favourite comment was, ‘I use my brain for growth mindset.’
