Healthy Choices, Healthy Bodies

Dr. Luke, a past pupil of St.Joseph's P.S. returned to his old primary school today to give a talk on, 'How to stay fit and healthy". The KS2 pupils have been studying this topic in WAU. Dr. Luke explained what we can do to give ourselves the best chance of staying fit and healthy. He discussed diet, exercise and the importance of avoiding smoking, vaping and drugs. He explained that vaping is just as bad for us as smoking! He advised the pupils to never start. He also talked about the systems in our bodies and compared how they work together like a good bicycle. Each system has a job to do, just as each part of a bicycle is necessary to keep it working smoothly. Dr. Luke talked about how he became a doctor and demonstrated some of the medical equipment he uses. The pupils have certainly learnt a lot today and will share the information with family and friends. We would like to thank Dr. Luke for taking time out of his busy schedule to talk to us!
