This week started off with educators conducting a serious medical emergency drill. The children watched as our educators role modelled the appropriate steps to take in a medical emergency. Once it was conducted the children rushed over to the educators and checked to make sure that everyone was okay.

Our children then began to work together in small groups to provide first aid and comfort to their peers. Educators used this learning opportunity to educate the children on how to place their friends into the recovery position.

The children had so much fun with this and showed a great interest in learning new skills. We then spoke to the children about our first aid kits, and the children assisted educators in checking our kits to ensure they were all within date and make sure we have everything needed.

The children then continued on this learning to provide care and comfort to each other, and even to our dolls as they carefully wrapped them and placed them into the recovery position when unwell.
