Dr. Leppelmann was our Guest Speaker during Science Class

Dr. Karen Leppelmann, a veterinarian from Beausejour Animal Hospital, came in to talk to Mr. Lestition's class and our class about the digestive and urinary systems during science class.  She showed us a video on a cat in surgery and pulled out the small intestine and the large intestine.  It was amazing how long the intestines were... They were pink in colour and shiny.  It almost looked like a photograph. She also showed us the cat's bladder, which was the size of a golf ball. Dr. Leppelmann went on to show us what happens to the food we eat by going through the steps of how our food gets digested, with some crackers.  We were all interested and happy that she answered our questions about the systems, but also our pet questions. She was impressed by what we already knew. The students did a good job by asking her deep thinking questions.  A BIG thank you goes out to Dr. Leppelmann for taking the time to talk to us and further our knowledge in science!
