First Aid in Schools

This week, 'First Aid in Schools' ran 45 minute sessions with each class about safety and first aid. This was planned to coincide with our current focus on Safety. Classes were taught age-appropriate strategies to address a range of physical injuries and how to respond safely to emergencies.

Topics included: Cuts and Grazes,  Bites and Stings, Burns and CPR.

Harriet Yr 1 - The First Aid was good to learn that we all need a First Aid kit at home because if someone gets hurt we can look after them by bandaging them after calling 000.

Seb Yr 3  - I learnt that if you're at home and someone looks unconscious, you can use pressure points to see if they are awake or really unconscious. If they are unconscious you can call 000 and they will tell us what to do or maybe come straight away.

Niamh Yr 5 -  In First Aid we used Dummies to practise CPR. It was difficult because it takes a lot of energy, using your whole body to pump the heart and help a person breathe.
