Life Education

The Life Education bus came to Milton Primary school recently. Pip and Harold, the puppet giraffe, were teaching us about what cigarettes, medicines, drugs and alcohol can do to our bodies. Pip taught us about how smoking can damage our bodies and to say “no” if someone asks you if you want a cigarette. Then Pip taught us how all medicines are drugs but not all drugs are medicines, which means that some drugs are not good for you. Other drugs like medicines can be ok as long as they are prescribed by a doctor. The next thing we learnt about was that alcohol doesn’t just effect the brain when you have too much of it. It affects the whole body like the heart and the liver. We learnt a lot about the human body and how it gets affected by different types of drugs. We all had fun in the Life Education bus and we look forward to it returning again next year!!! J
