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!
