parents | P1/2 superstars

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

Yesterday Lindsay (Charlie’s Mum) came into class to talk to us about being a vet. This answered one of the questions from our learning wall. Max and Eve performed an important operation on a special patient!

Here is what we learned:

Ellie – Sometimes a vet needs to pin an animal’s bones if they were broken

Logan – I learned that dogs like to eat stones and they need an operation to get them out

Archie – I learned that raisins are poisonous for dogs

Olly – I learned that fleas like to live in people’s houses in their carpets

Luke – I learned grapes are poisonous for dogs

Emelia – X-rays show bones

Charlie – The special scanner helps you find your dog if it is lost

Eve – I learned that you can pop a little thing on dogs necks to help it
