First Aid – staying safe
Our children have learnt about how to deliver CPR to someone who may be unconscious and not breathing.
We learnt:
- to check to see if the person will wake up;
- to shake and ask if they are ok;
- to check if they are breathing;
- to shout for help/call 999;
If the casualty is not breathing then we start CPR – 30 compressions: 2 breaths.
We would continue CPR until help arrives, we can’t go on any further or the casualty wakes up.
The children also learnt about stings and burns and what to do should we experience either on these.
Help at home – ask your child what to do should a bee sting them. How long should we cool a burn? How do we cool a burn? Is there anything we can put on a burn?
