What did we get up to this week?

We’ve been relatively relaxed with no local events to cover!

So our Wednesday Weekly Meeting Consisted of:

🦡- Badgers: We learned about our Body; the Skeleton, Digestive System, and how our Heart and Lungs gives our body the oxygen we need! We did this by making our own skeletons, Michael spurting water everywhere during a heart demonstration, and we got to make waste product during a digestive system demonstration (pictured below).

💚- Cadets: The cadets continued their up-cycling projects, and touched on CPR in preparation for Restart a Heart Day (we have our own event upcoming, keep your eyes peeled on this page).

🚑- Adults: Learnt all things observations and when to be worried when looking after a patient.
