A visit from a Paramedic! 🚑

On Tuesday, our Year 5 tortoises had a visit from one of our parents who is a paramedic. He came to talk about being a paramedic and linked his work to the children's learning about the circulatory system topic in Science.

They used stethoscopes to listen to our heart beat. Took our pulse, had our oxygen levels and heart rate measured and Mrs M even had her blood pressure taken (surprisingly not too bad for a busy school day!). Mr Harvey answered lots of questions about the job ..and yes, driving an ambulance is one of the many highlights of a rewarding career helping people!
