The Body Investigators Incursion

Primary school children will become immersed in our healthy body incursion, THE BODY INVESTIGATORS, and gain an understanding of how diet physical activity and sleep can impact their body’s performance.

They will have so much fun during this highly educational incursion dressing-up as Brain Nuerons, Red and White Blood Cells, Oxygen and Gastric Juices.

They will enter an unhealthy body via the nose and role play the different body systems learning the importance of looking after their body.

This incursion offers a unique way to explore; healthy bodies, everyday foods and sometimes foods, the different body systems, the importance of sleep and the overall workings of the human body.

A whole school healthy body experience!

Suitable for Foundation to year 6.

“I have to say the workshop was perfect, exactly what we needed as a start to our unit on the human body. The children learnt so much, in the one hour session, and were given just enough information to start their inquiry project this term. The presenter was so energetic, bubbly and full of life. She was excellent with the students! I was extremely happy with the workshop and have recommended to other teachers, so thank you again!”
