PSHE- CPR training

On Monday morning, our Year 6s took part in their CPR training with Sally from the NHS. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique that's useful in many emergencies, such as a heart attack or near drowning, in which someone's breathing or heartbeat has stopped. 

We learnt about the numbers we can phone in an emergency: 999 or 112. We then learnt about a really good app called ‘what three words’ which is where every 3 squared metre of the world is given three random words. Our three words for the school hall is: bookshelf, overdrive and geek. 

Sally then described why people some people have heart attacks and how we can best to help them. She went through DR ABC and then demonstrated how we perform CPR on the dummy and how to use the  defibrillator appropriately. 

The children were all brilliant in their questioning and application of all the skills learnt. They were all able to show maturity when performing CPR. 

Well done Year 6- an important lesson learnt.
