111- Learning about Emergencies and First Aid

This week we had a visit from Josie who works with St John’s Ambulance. She came to share with us how we can be of help in case of emergencies. 

First we learned how to dial for help by pressing 111. Then we had to learn which services we need to ask for: fire, ambulance or police. It's important to know what kind of help we might need. Josie also mentioned that it is important that we learn our parents' cellphone numbers so please help us to practise at home.

Then we learned how to bandage people in case they have an injury. We learned how to apply the bandage and also unroll the cover slowly and carefully. We got to practise on each other so we can be confident if we ever need to do it ourselves.

We feel much more confident knowing what to do and how to dial for help! Thank you, Josie. We really appreciated your visit and sharing all the skills that our ambulance service provides.
