On Friday 19 May Year 6 children took part in some essential first aid training.  It was delivered by someone from The Red Cross, which is a charity that helps to provide life saving skills.

During the lesson, the children explored different scenarios and acted out how to deal with the situations.  They learnt how to care for someone with a burn, a seizure, a cut, a bump on the head and people who have fallen unconscious.  

At the end of the lesson, the children were introduced to a resuscitation dummy (Annie) and had a go at giving it compressions, checking for a response at the same time.

Although the children enjoyed learning these life saving skills, we hope they are never faced with a situation where they need to use them.
