This afternoon we took part in First Aid training with Andrea from Mini First Aid.
We learned how to call for help and what information we need to tell someone. Do you know your address including your postcode?
We know how to check if someone is breathing.
We had a go at basic CPR and also learned how to help someone who is choking.
We also learned how to put a patient into the recovery position. Can you show someone how to do this at home?

What an exciting and unusual day!
Joe from Teach Rex, visited school today with Thomas the gorilla. We learnt about how his family was taken when he was a baby and how he had managed to survive in the Congo. The children learnt of the devastating impact of deforestation and how small changes they make can make a big difference. Thomas was very nervous to begin with but relaxed when he realised how much we cared and wanted to help him.
Take a look at some of the photos below to give you a taste of the day and support a conversation at home.
