P1 and P2 have been very busy this month.  On Monday 30th January, Joe and Robert who are both paramedics, came to school to talk about their jobs. This is part of the P1/2 topic work on "Helping Hands". Joe and Robert gave the children clear instructions about what to do if there is an emergency and they need to dial 999.  There were also practical demonstrations on bandaging wounds and using face masks for oxygen.  The highlight of the visit was when the children were allowed to go inside the ambulance to see all the things that paramedics use when they are called to an emergency.  Robert also let the children hear the very noisy ambulance siren and see the flashing blue lights.  This was a visit that all the children not only enjoyed, but they gained lots of new and valuable information as well.  Thanks Joe and Robert for giving of your time to talk to us.
