We have been building up to this event all term. Just to recap what we’ve done:
On 22nd Feb – you learned all about emergency aid
discovering an incident (DRABc) Danger!, Response, Airway, Breathing, check), recovery position, CPR, bleeding, fractures
On 7th March – you learned how to read a map – watch the videos
On 14th March – you learned how to use a compass to find your way
On 21st March – you learned about safety on the hills – what to do before, during and after an expedition to the hills.
So now it’s time to put it all into action as we put the OUT into SCOUTS!
