Life Savers in P2! HEARTSTART

We have been learning what to do

in emergency situations,

who to ask for help

and what we can do to save lives.

 

SDC11903Finlay  and Katie from P5 demonstrated what to say and do if someone is unconscious. SDC11906Emma and Niamh from P5 showed us how to put someone in the recovery position.
SDC11910Call 999 for an emergency. SDC11908Sarah and Kenzie worked in a pair to practise putting a person into the recovery position.
SDC11909Lucy checked for danger before approaching Oliver to offer her help. SDC11907Sarah shouted for help. She gently shaked the casualty to check if he was conscious. Next she checked for signs of normal breathing.
SDC11904Finlay gave very clear instructions on the steps to follow.

P5 and P2 worked together to share learning and possibly save a life one day. A most important lesson!

Working Together To Get The Job Done!

Primary 2 are learning to make choices to further develop our own skills.  We choose from a range of learning opportunities.  Sometimes we work in pairs, in groups or with an adult. We all take responsibility for keeping our classroom and resources tidy.
