Learning the DRS ABC

Today we learnt some very important basic First Aid skills that may one day help us to save a person's life. We learned the doctors ABC. Max was "unconscious" so Olivia talked us through the steps we need to take to help him. We learnt to check for a response and check for breathing. We practised putting people into the recovery position by rolling them towards us. We learnt what to do if a person was not breathing- 30 pushes and 2 breaths until the ambulance arrives or the person we are helping tells us to stop.

Calendar Art

This year we chose a favourite animal to feature on our calendars. We used pastel for the colour work and included a pattern in the background. We used match sticks and toothpicks to give texture. We covered the pastel with dark purple dye to give depth. Then we cut our picture into rectangular pieces, chose a suitable colour for the background and pasted the pieces onto the coloured paper to give a mosaic effect.
