Healthy Body Bits - School Workshop

With the help of Stuffee – a giant ragdoll with removable organs – learners will explore our major organs, what they do, and how to keep them healthy.

Please note that this outreach will require a private room/hall big enough to accommodate up to 30 children sitting on the floor or on benches. We will also require close parking and step-free access into the space, as Stuffee is quite big and heavy for our staff to carry long distances. If on arrival our staff deem the area not to be suitable to deliver the workshop, we may have to rearrange for a more suitable location.

Aims:

• To understand the organs in the human body and their roles.
• To understand that you have a responsibility to keep yourself healthy.
• To know which systems in the body organs relate to.
