First Aid badge
Giving ourselves ‘wounds’ with fake blood and learning how to deal with these injuries.
Putting arms into slings in case bones are broken or wrists sprained.
First aid week this week. The brownies made fake cuts and burns on themselves, (using a synthetic skin make up of a small amount of petroleum jelly, cornflour and cocoa powder squidged up in a plastic bag, and some water and red food colouring as blood) and learnt how to treat them.
We learnt that the first thing to do is to stay calm. We also had a go at bandaging our injuries and running our ‘burns’ under cold water.
