Medics in Primary School Programme

Prep 6 have been treated to a series of lessons from Queens University Medical student Callum during December and January.

Through his teaching, the girls learnt about the workings of the human body, how our main organs function and how to keep our bodies healthy by avoiding damaging habits like smoking. Pupils had the chance to make their own facsimile of the lungs using a bottle and balloons with the balloons demonstrating what happens to the diaphragm and lungs when air is inhaled and exhaled.

Thank you to the Medics in Schools programme for bringing this learning to life in such an interesting and practical way and to 'Frank' the skeleton for visiting Prep 6!
