On Thursday a First Aid lady called Melanie, came to show us some first aid skills. She showed us how to preform CRP. We had to use dummies. First you have to see if they are conscious and the best way to do that is to tap them on the shoulder. Check if there is anything in their mouth and then find the special spot on the chest where you have to put your hands. Keep you arms straight and push down 30 times. After that you tilt their head back, block their nose and blow two big blows into their mouth.
We also learnt how to stop bleeding by bandaging a person's arm or leg.
The last thing we learnt was how to put someone in the recovery position.
She gave us some bandages and some gloves to use if we ever need to do first aid on anyone.
