Brain talk

Today Pip came to visit the classes in the senior school to talk to us about the brain.  She brought a model of a brain and even two real human brains to show us about things that can go wrong with your brain.  Here are the models and brains she brought in.

Leave a comment below and describe something you learnt or found interesting.

 This brain had had a bad bleed.

Thanks so much Pip for sharing your knowledge, bringing in the exhibits and for answering our MANY questions!

St John First Aid

Before going to camp, St John came to school to teach the senior school about basic first aid.  We learnt about checking for dangers in an emergency, sending for help, dialing 111 and what information to give the operators, broken bones, sprains, bleeding noses, simple bandaging and basic CPR/recovery position.
