During September 2021 , David, Di and Janise from Meon Valley HeartStart came into school to teach the Year 1 children what to do in a medical emergency. The children learnt the different steps to follow (DRSABCD). This included looking for any dangers and checking whether the person was breathing. They were told when to call 999 and when not to. They also learnt about the recovery position and practised this with their friend. They asked and answered lots of questions.
Thank you very much to Meon Valley HeartStart for enriching the children's learning.
Poppy Appeal 2021
Nearly all our poppies were sold this year, and we held our special assembly to commemorate the day. We also held a two minute silence throughout the school at 11 o'clock on the 11/11. Our children asked lots of questions and many told us about people in their family who were the forces at the time, or are in the forces now. Thank you to everybody who donated, and to our super Year 2 Poppy Collection Volunteers.
During November 2021 we raised £153.38 in donations.
