Visit to St John Ambulance Station

This morning Heather, with the help of some parents took a small group of children on a walk to our local ambulance station. This had been organised with Amos' Grandma who volunteers there, in response to an on going interest in 'emergencies'.

Children were introduced to a lot of machinery inside the ambulance, where they had the opportunity to be hands on and try them out together. Eligh's heart rate was monitored while others had their pulse taken before Bettina was strapped only other bed like a real patient. Kia manawanui-be brave.

Throughout this whole experience the whole group took responsible risks by going into an unknown environment - the back of an ambulance and trying something new. Amos even showed everyone how to turn the siren on - āe mārika/how about that!
