Stane Primary School and Nursery Class
– Kindness – Compassion – Courage – Community –
The police were in the school today to talk to P4/5, P5/6 and P6/7 about Stranger Danger.
The children learned about people who are strangers, and what to do in different situations.
They also learned about what to do if they got lost.
Week beginning 7th March 2016
This week the pupils were learning about the ambulance service and paramedics. The pupils had fun learning about the different utensils that doctors use and they loved playing with the doctors’ bag from the nursery. Demi did well at naming all the utensils and when the paramedics visited us on Thursday, she was very enthusiastic to tell them what she knew.
The boys and girls had a very exciting afternoon on Thursday when the paramedics visited us. Lucas enjoyed trying on the bandages and playing with equipment.
The role play area was set up as a hospital. Everyone loved pretending they were paramedics, using the costumes and the items the paramedics left for the children. They had great fun playing in this corner. The boys and girls were also given prescription forms which they could fill out. The children had fun writing these out and they pretended to give each other medicine.
The pupils know that medicine is safe from the doctor and can identify which medicines they have used and had fun cutting and sticking these into their jotters.
Next week, Primary 2 will go onto to look at how the police help us.

P1/2 and P2 were very lucky this afternoon to be visited by two paramedics who came to talk to us about what their job involves. Â They brought lots of the equipment they carry in the ambulance with them to show us.
It was a really interesting afternoon and we learned so much about how they look after people in emergency situations.
We all tried to find our pulses to check that our hearts were still beating! Most of us managed to find one!
We found out that they can give people medicine in different ways, like using a needle, a syringe or the patient can breathe it in through a face mask. If a patient is too cold the paramedics carry special foil blankets which they can wrap around them to warm them up.
We also watched a demonstration of how bandages and slings could be used to treat an injured person.
Then we watched as one of the paramedics was linked up to a heart monitor and we could see the pattern of his heartbeat on the special printout.
Some of us had the opportunity to try on the reflective jackets that the paramedics wear when working outdoors. They had lots of bright colours on them so that they could easily be seen.
Here are some photos of us trying out some of the equipment!
