Taking Care of Teddy

Posted on September 29, 2023 by Mrs R. Woodley • 0 Comments

Sarah-Lou from Mini-Fist Aid came into our class today to talk to us about keeping safe. We helped her clean up the cut on Teddy’s leg and put an ice pack on his head after he had banged it. Sarah then read us a story about a boy called Freddy. Freddy’s Mum had collapsed in the kitchen and so Freddy had put his Mum in the recovery position and dialled 999 for an ambulance. We now know what to do in an emergency. Thank you for visiting us Sarah-Lou and for teaching us these important life skills!
