P4-7 received a training session from qualified paramedic, Tanya Elllis, today. Tanya works both from the ambulance and fire services. The children learned about first aid techniques that could potentially save a life. They were given instruction in a range of areas such as C.P.R and emergency situations. The pupils were taught the importance of assessing danger when approaching a casualty as well as checking for responsivity. They then practiced the A.B.C. of revival using resuscitation models. The boys and girls learned how to modify the method for young children and babies. The class then moved on to placing their breathing casualty in the recovery position. The group were given scenarios on how to deal with burns, breaks, cuts and seizures. The children were mature and sensible throughout the session, asking relevant questions to gain more knowledge.
