First Aid for Camp

On Friday Whaea Jenny from St Johns came and taught us some first aid in case we need to use it on camp. We learnt how to put an unconscious but breathing person in the recovery position.  You need to get them on their side with their leg supporting them, and have their airway open so they don't choke on their tongue or spew!  Then we did work on pretending we had cut ourselves and our partner bandaged up our cuts.  You need to remember pressure and elevation!  The last thing we learnt about was if someone got hypothermia.  We liked that chocolate was good for that!  Thanks Whaea Jenny, we learnt heaps!
