CHILDREN at Westbury Infants had the chance to find out more about their bodies with a visit from the Life Education Centre.

Pupils were invited to step onboard the centre's mobile classroom where they got to meet Harold the giraffe and Tam a transparent anatomical mannequin which teaches the pupils all about the human body.

Judy Johnson, one of the educators with the Life Education Centre said: "We take the children through a different experience that they wouldn't have in a normal classroom environment. We have lots of different effects and technology. The idea is to teach children to look after and respect their bodies and make healthy choices.

"The children absolutely loved it. We try not to be a one off experience and go back and visit schools again. It's incredible what they remember. The children at Westbury were very enthusiastic and loved coming on board."

The event was organised as part of the school's lessons on healthy living and each year group had an hour's session where they learnt about healthy eating, their own bodies and feelings.
