Enrichment Friday- First Aid

This week, in first aid we learnt about basic life support.
We conducted a primary survey remembering the acronym DRABC, Danger, Response, Airway, Breathing, Circulation.

Then we learnt that if someone is breathing normally but not responding, we put them into the recovery position. We practised putting each into the recovery position safely.

If we find someone and after the primary survey we find that they are not breathing normally and not responding, we call 999 or 112 and begin CPR. We used the resusci-Annie’s to practise CPR.

Debate Finale

To conclude last week’s enrichment session, where the children organised their ideas into a ‘pyramid of importance’, we carried out the very important environmental debate: Can we blame previous generations?

We benefitted from planning and sequencing the points we wanted to make. This allowed us to save key ideas for later on in the debate. A major area of improvement was how cohesive the debate was, with children showing they can respond to an opposition’s idea and show listening and respect, before arguing their own point. Using phrases including ‘I can see your side of the argument,’ and ‘I respect that.’

 

The children have been a tremendous group during Debate Club and I know they are looking forward to their next valuable experience!

Enrichment – Finance

This week, the children worked in pairs to work out how much a weekend in London would cost me. The children had to find train prices, hotel and activities.

We also counted what we made from the cake sale and deducted what we spent to find out how much profit we made. 

A big well done to the finance team 🙂

Enrichment Friday- First Aid

This week in First Aid we looked at how we can treat bites and stings.
The group practised treating bites by cleaning the wound and then dressing the wound. Then they practised treating stings by removing the sting if it is visible, putting a cold compress on it and if the patient requires further help we need to ring 999 or 112.
We ended our final session by recapping our knowledge of basic life support and bandaging which everyone had a go at practising again.

Enrichment Friday- First Aid

This week in first aid we learnt about bleeding. We started our learning by creating blood using different components to represent the red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. We learnt about how important our blood is to keep us healthy.
The children were fascinated to know that the liquid part of our blood is yellow and called plasma. The red blood cells which make up around 50% of our blood creates the redness.
We then looked at how we can help people when they are bleeding. We practised putting bandages on each other, remembering not to make it too tight but also not too loose.
They have all worked really hard this week and learnt a lot!
