First Aid Couse

                                                      First Aid Course

A rainy but exciting day for us. That day we were learning First aid. I was quite happy because my dream job involves this type of thing. It was held in Room 11 with a friendly urse named Miss Akroyd. We sat down and she began talking about the important things that we have to do with what we are learning. Like CPR (cardio pulmonary resuscitation) and DRSABC . She also said we were going to have a bloody activity.

She asked us if we had any blood stories. We were all blank except for Sariah. She wanted to tell us about her sister who unfortunately fell through a window while dancing on the balcony. Luckily she is all right now.

Next we played with Uncle Bob. He doesn’t talk much because he was a mannequin. Our activity was, we had to get in a group and act like we just found someone on the ground and call for 111 for help . There were enough people in the group so there could be an operator, a person who cleaned the mouth after doing CPR, and a person giving CPR. Every round we had something new to do. I really enjoyed this; it was fun and a new learning experience which is now in my brain so if it happens one day I would know what to do.

The blood activity was next. The volunteer to show what we were about to do was Nathaniel. Helen did not know but she pretended that he loved cooking (which he does) and that he was making a tomato cake. Although that sounds wrong it was just pretend. So anyway he chopped up a tomato and accidentally cut his hand. Fake blood was soaked on the palm of his left hand and it looked yucky. We were told that we had to pretend that we got a cut (but really it’s just red white board marker) and our partner had to put a bandage on our wound. My partner was Maria T and she was excellent at it but me on the over hand I was not the best.

In conclusion of the first aid session we were given a bag which included magnets, pencil, paper, and a sticker of Amby the cartoon ambulance. From this lesson I learnt so much and I enjoyed every part. To be honest I didn’t want to leave. The best part of this was when she was talking to Maria and said she was munted it was funny.
