Year 5 become Young Lifesavers with Hippo Training

Our Year 5 pupils recently took part in an exciting and informative First Aid Training Day, delivered by Hippo Training.

Throughout the day, the children developed a range of essential life-saving skills through practical activities, demonstrations and role-play scenarios. They learnt how to assess an emergency situation safely, how to contact the emergency services, place someone into the recovery position and respond appropriately if someone is unconscious. The pupils also explored the importance of CPR, basic first aid techniques and how to stay calm and confident in an emergency.

The hands-on nature of the training gave every child the opportunity to practise their new skills and build confidence in responding to real-life situations. It was fantastic to see the enthusiasm, teamwork and maturity shown by all of the children as they worked together to solve emergency scenarios and support one another. We are incredibly proud of our Year 5 pupils for the way they embraced this important learning experience. These invaluable life skills will not only support them during their final year at Acre Hall but will remain with them for many years to come.

A huge thank you to Hippo Training for delivering such an engaging, informative and enjoyable day. We hope our pupils never need to use these skills, but they now have the confidence and knowledge to help someone should the need arise.
