St John - Safe Kids

On Wednesday 23rd November,

Jessica from St Johns came to Room 2 to teach us when to call the ambulance and CPR. We practised answering the questions from the emergency operator, why to call an ambulance and being sent for help. We also learn to put someone in the recovery position. We had to practice this a few times to make sure our patient was comfortable. Once we had all got that and Jessica was happy.

We learnt how to perform CPR on a plastic doll. It was quite hard to do the compressions and breathe into the dummie. You had to remember to hold the head back so that the neck was straight. After everyone had done 5 sets of 30 compressions and 2 breathes, Jessica got us together again to go over what we had just learnt.
D – Danger
R – Response
S – Send for help

Olivia thanked Jessica for coming and she gave a Safe kids bag to take home.
