Wednesday 23rd May: Emergency first aid course with Steve
Today yr 5&6 did a course with Steve, the paramedic trainer, to learn about emergency first aid, he prepared us for emergencies and taught us the following:
– The primary survey ( Danger, response, Airway, breathing, circulation )
– How to dial services:  999 or 112 (they both dial the emergency services)
-Recovery position
-CPR
-Choking
– Mouth to mouth
– defibrillator

How to use a defibrillator:

step1
You dial 999 or 112
They will then give you a code to open the cabinet.

step2
You will then receive instructions from the defibrillator

step3
they will tell you to remove all clothing from chest.
step4
remove the stickers from the pads and place them on the torso.

step5
It will then tell you weather the casualty will need another shock.

How to do CPR
step1
Locate the heart on the torso.

step2
Place one of your hands on top of the other.

step3
And push in as hard as possible.

step4
This should be repeated until the paramedics arrive.

A man called Steve came into train us how to do first aid and how to save someone’s life. First Steve taught us the DR ABC code. It’s this: Danger
Response (shout, talk, gently shake)
Airway
Breathing
Circulation.
After that he taught us the recovery position and Steve taught us how to get the person into the position and then he told us the numbers to call the ambulance: 999 and 112. Next we were taught if the person was choking we would have to give them a hard pat on the back five times but I already knew that . What I did not know was there was something called the abdominal thrust. Then he taught us how to do CPR which stands for cardio pulmonary resuscitation and I already knew how to do that as well. Then the final part- the defibrillator. There are 2 pads; one for the side and one on the heart. Also the defibrillator can talk! It tests your heart and until the heart works it will keep on shocking you but if your heart still works it does not shock you.

Wednesday 23rd May First Aid

Hello there its Tom and Finlay.

We did first aid today. It was really fun and exciting.We found out how to help people when they are not breathing or choking. Tom and I were partners for the recovery position and we got it right the first time! We also found out how to help people who will not respond to our voice. First you check for Danger then you say, “Hello can you hear me?” in both ears in case they are deaf.Then if they don’t respond you give them a gentle nudge on their shoulder. If they don’t respond again you call 999 or 112. If they’re choking you tap on their back 5 times and if it doesn’t come out you lift up their arms and go to the belly and push it in their body and it should come out. If not do it again.

On Monday 23rd May 2018, Year 5 and 6 did a first aid class with a paramedic called Steve. Firstly we learned all about the “Primary Survey” which Steve could remember by “Doctor ABC”. These points were………
– D – Danger/ Look around to make sure everything is safe.
– R – Response/ Ask the Casualty a question / Give them a command / Give them a GENTLE shake.
– A – Airways/ Make sure the wind pipe is free by putting 2 fingers underneath the chin and 2 fingers on the fore head.
– B – Breathing/ Make sure the Casualty is breathing by seeing if their chest is moving, putting your hand by the Casualty’s mouth or trying to listen to the breath by putting your ear to the mouth of the Casualty.
– C – Circulation/ You need to check for any blood around the injured person.
After that we learned to and how to call the Ambulance, because at any time through the “DRABC” we can call 999 and 112 if we get worried.
We then learned how to get into the recovery position.
First you….
1.You take the closest hand and put it on the ground as if it is giving you a high five.
2.Then you put the furthest hand and put it on the patient’s cheek you’ll have to hold it in place.
3.You then put the furthest leg and bend it up into a pyramid.
4.Roll the casualty onto its side.
5.Put the bent leg into a “L” shape on the floor to keep your patient comfortable.
6.Stay with them until the ambulance get to where you and the casualty are.
We then got into partners. We were together practicing the recovery position.
CPR
We went outside and practiced CPR on dummies. We did 30 chest pumps and a few people did mouth to mouth.

This morning, a man called Steve came to talk about first aid. Steve is a trainer who talked about safety for example: First aid,Choking and CPR. Me and my partner really enjoyed this program.
Danger
Response

Airways
Breathing
Circularity
You can call 999 or 112 for an ambulance.
If you stop breathing a ambulance will shock you with a shock machine .

This morning year five and six did a first aid workshop with this guy called Steve. He was really nice which made everyone like the workshop. We did CPR at the end which was a bit fun. We also did the recovery position.

On Wednesday 23rd of May Year 5 and 6 had a man called Steve visit. Steve was from the ambulance. First we had to listen and then we put our friend in the recovery position and we swapped round so we were having a go at being injured and being helpful and saving lives. The next thing we did was C.P.R. We pushed a mannequin and gave it breaths for life. We did work on a defibrillator too.

On the 23rd of May a person from the emergency services came in to teach us the basics of CPR like the recovery position. He was explaining about what to do if one of your family members or anyone in general needs help and how to save their life. It’s like buying time before the professionals take over. Ben said, “It was fun and I have learned a lot of things.” We got to do proper CPR on mannequins some of us did mouth to mouth!

So today we did a lesson about CPR and choking. We used a shock machine we can practice on. There was lots to learn about. It was fun and we all volunteered. There is nothing to be scared about it is pretend but it can help in real life. When you need help you can get a ambulance by calling 999 or 112. You can call it even on holiday. We learned lots and lots. Have fun and keep safe by Lucy and Gabriel

What I liked about the first aid was that Steve taught us how to save lives. He taught us how to do CPR. We used dummies. There were two hard ones and two softer ones. I used the softer one. He also taught us how to do the recovery position and showed us a thing that you use to get someone’s heart going again.
