St John Visit Term 4 2014


On Monday 17th November we had a visit from the St John's lady to teach us about the emergency services and what the St Johns do.


We learn about the jobs carried out by the Fire Department, the Police and the St John.


She showed us some pictures and we had to say how these services helped us.
We were also shown some pictures and we had to guess which of the three services we would call in each of the pictures.


This was the oxygen machine and we were shown how it was used as a nebuliser.


Each of us was able to feel the steam produced and it was cold and a bit funny to touch.


We had to get into pairs and practice dialling 111 and asking for an operator and giving them the information that they needed. One person took the part of the operator and the other person was ringing the emergency service.
Everyone needed to know their address and telephone number for this.


At the end the lady showed us what was in an ambulance and the different sirens they had. 
We were surprised that there were so many different sirens.
We learnt a lot and enjoyed the session.
