NHS Day 2018

To celebrate 70 years of the NHS, we held our very own celebrations at Merdon. 

During the day, the children learnt about;

• The history of the NHS
• How we can live healthier lifestyles
• What is good hygiene? E.g hand washing

• The different job roles within the NHS led by actual staff sharing their experiences
• Why we should use the NHS responsibly

We put on some extra special activities throughout the day including;

• Heartbeatz CPR workshops
• Race for Life event on the school field
• Meeting some of the NHS team and learn about their job roles
• Change4Life fitness activities - Train like a Jedi!

We also raised money for Southampton General Hospital Charity and Cancer Research.

You can find lots of information and activities on the Change4Life website;
