Children from Ings Primary School in Skipton visited the town’s Dyneley House Surgery to build on their knowledge of the benefits of eating healthily and being active. They had a look around the fruit and vegetable garden (pictured) at the Newmarket Street practice and planted pea and bean seeds to take home and grow in their own gardens. They also listened to each other’s heartbeats using some of the practice’s medical equipment and then joined in a quiz to guess the names of some less familiar types of fruit such as gooseberries, radishes and dates.Antony Radley, Practice Manager said “ Ings School has been fantastic. We wrote to them in the spring about visiting the gardens at the Practice, so that we can reinforce learning about the benefits of eating healthily and being active. We are really keen to work with local people to help them to look after their health. Some children associate negative feelings with a visit to the doctors as they are usually unwell or something hurts but we want them to be confident about speaking to their GP and to feel able to approach them about issues that they need help with as they grow older”.
