First Aid (as part of our curriculum)

 

Children at Round Hill, from the early part of their education, will be taught basic first aid and how to support their health and wellbeing. As children grow older the curriculum will expand to teach life saving techniques.

These lessons will form art of the RSE lessons which take place in the summer term.

Children have the opportunity to become First Aid Champions using activities from the following modules:

  • First aid skills – learn and practise eight first aid skills relevant to children
  • Kindness and coping – learn and practise how to help others and keep calm
  • Safety – learn and practise how to stay safe while helping others
  • Explore ideas for children to share their learning with others.

First aid champions contributes to elements of the National Curriculum. By taking part in First aid champions, children can develop their learning in the following subject areas; below are suggested curriculum subject and programme of study links.
