Paramedics visit

| 0 comments

On Friday last week we had special and important visitors…Paramedics! We have been showing our interest in emergency services for weeks now so this was very exciting and we learned lots.

When the paramedics arrived we gathered in group to hear about their uniform and learn about some of the tools they use such as stethoscope, electrocardiogram and the EMS bag. We got to explore and try some of the equipment, some of us were happy to get bandages on our limbs too.

Went outside to the ambulance. We stood back to see how the ramp was lowered for a stretcher or wheelchair to get on board. We got to take turns on the chair. It felt a bit funny being leaned backwards while on a chair but paramedics help us so we were great at trusting them.

Inside the ambulance we explored the stretcher and all the resources that are kept inside.

Finally we got to see the blue lights flash and heard how loud the siren was. When the lights flash blue it’s an emergency.

Following their visit we have been inspired to role play paramedics, hospitals and emergencies. Here’s some quotes from our play…. “Sorry you need to stay in here for 1000 days.” “I feel sleepy.” “We need to get the germs off.” “He bumped his head.” “I can be a nurse.” “Do you need an injection?” “There’s a baby in my belly.” “Put on the oxygen mask.”

A HUGE thank you to Emma and Helen for taking time to visit us and teach us so much about the job that they do.

We hope everyone has a lovely Spring break 🙂
