Junior First Aid

Welcome to Junior First Aid

One of the things Jr First Aid is learning about this term is life saving. This is what they have learnt to ask someone in need:

What is your name?

How old are you?

Are you asmathic?

What is your phone number?

And more!

In Jr First Aid everyone was trying out wrapping bandages around fake injuries you could tell the children were having so much fun.  

Jr First Aid has also been learning about poisons and what different types there are, for example:

• Food poisoning
• An insect bite
• Cleaning supplies
• Fungi and berries
•  Alcohol and drugs.

They watched a video about a boy that had mistaken Oasis with White Spirit that was in his dad's garden shed, and as soon as the white spirit touched his lip he spat it out immediately because it was burning his lip.

In that situation you need to: 

• Find what they swallowed,
• Keep them calm,
• Try and make sure they`re not sick (otherwise what they've swallowed might burn their throat on the way up),
• Call 999 and ask for an ambulance.

Everyone is having fun as they are trying out the recovery position:
