Recently, the Scottish Ambulance Service delivered CPR training to Rooms 23, 24, 26 & 27. This was such a valuable experience, learning a skill that can help save lives. Here’s what some of the pupils had to say, along with a selection of photos:

“We learned the correct hand position for performing CPR and that you have to push down about 5-6cm deep for it to help keep oxygen flowing around the body. You might even break some of the ribs doing it properly.” – Lily 

“You should perform 100 – 120 compressions every minute for the CPR to be effective.” – Eva L

“For every minute a person isn’t getting CPR performed, their chance of survival drops by 10%” – Brody C

“Without CPR, the brain begins to deteriorate after 3 mins.” – Carrie

“It’s called a code purple when you phone 999. Ambulances aim to get to the patient in under 8 minutes.” – Holly G

“We learned that out of 70 people in a week who might have a cardiac arrest, only 4 of them will survive. If we all know how to do CPR, we can help to change that number and give people the best chance of survival.” – Aaron C

This week, we finished our WW2 bunting for the classroom. We think it looks great!

Today (Thursday) we got to make War Time Honey Biscuits using rationed food items. We were so busy making them, and scoffing the lot, that we forgot to take pictures! They tasted really nice though and some of us chose to add cinnamon and ginger to our dough.

We also got our leavers hoodies today! We’re buzzing that the excitement of term 3 is nearly here. We’ve got high school visits, the colour run and our leavers assembly to look forward to!

We hope everyone has a great Easter/Spring Break!
