Today we were very lucky to have a visit from Sophie’s daddy who works as a Biomedical Scientist. He taught us about the protective clothes he needs to wear in his laboratory and all of the important jobs he has to do. We learnt that blood is pumped around the body by the heart and travels through arteries and veins. We also learnt that blood is made up of red cells, white cells and platelets.
Finally we played a Blood Transfusion game where we had to choose the correct type of blood to give the patient.
Thank you so much for coming in. It was great fun!
