P1/2 was very lucky to get a special visit from Doctor Ross (Luke’s dad!) this afternoon.  He brought lots of interesting things for us to look at and told us all about the human body.  We saw inside his doctor’s bag and he even brought a prescription for Ben Bear! 

Max – The blue blood vessels take the blood up to the heart and the red ones take the blood away

Alex – I learned some bone names

Olly – I learned that the spikey bits are on the spine and there are discs that can slip and hit the nerve roots

Ellie – I learned that you have a tail bone and you can hurt it

Logan – I learned that we have a humerous

Nell – A doctor makes you feel better

Eve – There was a thing to make your leg bounce (reflex hammer)

Tegan – Doctors look after people and make us well

Sami – He brought a blood tube

Logan – Dr Ross had a monkey…

Emelia -… to cheer people up

Hazel – …and not worry them

Archie – He brought a syringe for making people go to sleep when they are doing something really sore
