We were lucky enough to have a visit from our local District Nurse Practitioner Beckie on Friday 13th. We learned about how to clean and dress a cut, apply bandages, make an emergency phone call, listen to a heartbeat and perform CPR. We also got to inspect the Fetlar Ambulance. It was a busy morning.
As with all school events Nursery were involved too.
Obviously we didn’t have real blood coming from our injuries. That’s why we had the ketchup bottle out!
Healthcare from the pupils to the teacher was (maybe) a little heavy handed!
Pupils also practised CPR on the dummy to the tune of ‘Staying Alive’. Below is Beckie showing us how to do it…. But, for some unknown reason the sound won’t play.
CPR.
When Nursery arrived we used stethoscopes to listen to our heartbeat, before going to explore the Ambulance.
We were very impressed with the Ambulance.
At the end of our activities Beckie gave us all a brief test before awarding certificates. Thanks for coming to see us Beckie.
