Year 11 were visited by Crystal and Julie to tell us all about our annual health check and what we might expect when we go. Firstly they talked to us about what a health check is, who would be there, and that we are ok to say if we don’t understand something that a nurse or doctor asks us or tells us.

We then got a chance to look at some equipment that the doctor may use, some of us even volunteered to have a try with both the blood pressure machine, being measured and having our oxygen levels checked.

We also got a chance to discuss healthy eating and what a balanced diet looks like, what we should eat and what are things that we should have only as a treat.

Our favourite part which gave us a giggle was when we look at the poo chart, what poo is healthy and what poo might mean we are unwell and when we might need to see the doctor.
