This morning we had a visit from our First Aid Officer Miss Moon! The children really enjoyed a valuable and information learning experience about what to do in an emergency where someone stops breathing.
Miss Moon went through the DRSABCD action play which reminds us what actions to do in an emergency. We also learnt the proper way of performing chest compressions on an adult and child, and the children enjoyed being hands-on and practicing what they learnt on a mannequin.
Learning about first aid gives children the confidence to know what to do in an emergency and helps them feel prepared to take safe, helpful actions. These skills encourage responsibility, problem-solving, and caring for others. Even at a young age, children can begin to understand the importance of staying calm, calling for help, and taking steps that might save a life.
