Today is April 1st and a visitor came into our school to teach Y5/6 about first aid and CPR. First he told us a true story about his friends and family and gave us advice about riding a bike “Always were a helmet because a small accident can be a big issue”. Next he told all of the pupils to find a partner to work with then he told us how to put a bandage on a cut or a burn. After that he said to pretend that we had a cut or a burn and ask or partner to put a bandage on our cut or burn and then the other person would do it to their partner then we wrapped the bandages on our head. After a while we practised CPR on a foam dummy. First we had to check that he was breathing then do 30 heart compressions then check again if he was breathing. At last the next person would have a try and then we all had a talk before it finished.
You learnt some very useful new skills during our first aid workshop this week Ruby! Gwych!
