This week we enjoyed learning about Edward Jenner, he helped stop the terrible disease of  small pox spreading. To make folk immune to smallpox you were given cowpox. The story of the small pox is that one day Edward was given a small dose of small pox at the age of 8. They were given it by blowing smallpox scabs up their nose but one little boy died next to him that was given the same thing. A milk lady came t0 Edward when was a lot older and he was a doctor she said “Since I have cowpox I can’t get smallpox” and this helped him to work out his theory.
