This morning the boys and girls in 5S dissected a pig's heart for our study of the human body. We were very lucky to have Carolyn (Stefan's mum, also a nurse), Kelsey (a medical school student), and Tom (a medical school student) to lead our dissection. We were also fortunate to have Arran's dad photo-documenting the whole morning for us. Many thanks to all of the volunteers for their invaluable help. I was very proud of all the children as they approached the dissection with mature attitudes and were eager to locate all the structures of the heart they had been studying. Kelsey and Tom led the children through a power point presentation showing each step of the dissection. The boys and girls were able to locate the major structures of the heart as well as describe the path of blood through the heart and lungs. Many of the children announced that they want to be doctors now :)Well done to everyone!
