On Wednesday 23rd a man called Steve came in and showed us first aid. Everyone loved it! First he came in and showed us a power point all about the Primary Survey. The Primary Survey shows kids stuff like DR ABC; each letter is a word. D=Danger: When you see someone on the floor you need to look around for danger.
R=Response: You need to aproach them and shout in both of their ears and see if they respond if not we call this unresponsive. A=Airway: When they’re on their back they can’t breathe because their tongue is blocking their airway.
B=Bleeding:look for bleeding.C= Circulation:Check for circulation.
After that we did that on each other and that was awsome!!!!! Then we worked on choking if someone chokes you need to pat them hard on the back 5 times. If that doesn’t work you have to put your hands under their arms and squeeze really hard and it should come out. If not call 999 or 112. At the end we did CPR on a dummy and you had to press down on the middle of the person, we had to do that about 30 times!!!!!!! At the very end we saw something called the defibrilllator and it can save about 70% of lives!!!!!!!!! The defibrillator has two eletric shockers and that will help the blood pump round again, the best thing is it talks to you so if you don’t know what to do it will tell you, all in all I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wednesday 23rd May morning.
Year 5 and 6 did a First Aid workshop. The man who taught us to do First Aid was called Steve. The first thing we did was learn about DR ABC.
D- danger
R- response
A- airway
B- bleeding
C- circulation
The man was from St. John’s.

The next thing we did was learn how to put people in the recovery position. It was really fun! When we had our first go at doing the recovery position, Steve was talking us through it. Once your partner did it to you, you would swap over so that you do it to your partner. Next we did about choking. We learnt how to save people when they are choking. One person had to put the vest on, and the other person had to save them from choking by hitting them 5 times on their back. Then put you put your arms underneath theirs, then you put one of your hands on your fist and make sure that it is on their stomach. Then you pull really hard and the thing they were choking on should come out, (a foam bullet.) Then we did some CPR on some dummies. Some of us did mouth to mouth. The last thing we did was watch Steve put a defibrillator on one of the dummies, but it didn’t really shock it because it was a training one. We had so much fun today!!!

This morning a man called Steve came in and talked to us about about first aid and CPR. He came from St John’s. His job was to train people in the art of first aid. He told us  how to do CPR and we practiced it on some dummies. Some of us chose to do mouth to mouth: Alex and Tom also Isaac. After that we were told how to use a defibrillator and we were shown all the methods on how to get things out of someone’s airway by using the heimlich manoeuvre.

We all got into the hall and Steve taught us life saving and CPR. Steve showed us how to do CPR with dummies. We learned about DRABC. It means danger,recover,air way,bleeding and circulation. After breaktime we went outside and did CPR on dummies and learned what to do when someone was choking.
