Year 6 - First Aid & Borwick Hall | Saint Clare’s Catholic Primary School

First Aid

As part of our HRSE curriculum, Year 6 have become confident young first aiders through learning the DR ABCD steps, practising CPR, and mastering basic bandaging skills. They showed real maturity on how to check for danger, respond to someone who may need help, keep airways clear, and recognising when CPR or a defibrillator might be needed. Watching them work through each step with focus and teamwork was impressive!

Year 6 also developed their skills, learning how to apply bandages carefully, support injuries and stay calm in emergency situations — all whilst looking out for one another - well done!

Borwick Hall

We are very excited to be off on our adventure to Borwick Hall next week! Below are a few reminders ready for Monday morning. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to be in touch.

Drop off – On Monday morning please can all the children come to school via the playground through the hall door between 8:40 and 9:00 (with an adult). I will be waiting at a table with paperwork for you to sign. You will also need to drop off any medication/inhalers etc at this point. Children can then say their goodbyes, drop their bags off in the hall and then go up to class.

Packed lunch – Please can the children bring a disposable packed lunch with them on Monday and a water bottle that they will be able to use throughout the week.

Equipment – Please remember to look back to the kit list and make sure that the children help you pack their bag so they know what is in it and will be able to recognise their own clothes!

Travel Sickness – If your child suffers from travel sickness and they take medication for it, please can you drop off their usual medication on Monday morning. (Enough for the return journey and a day out in the Lake District)

Pick up – On Friday 13^th February I will text you as we leave Borwick Hall with a pick-up time. It is likely to be before the end of the school day (approximately 2:15pm) so if the children have siblings in school, you are welcome to collect them all at the same time.

Have a lovely weekend with your families.

Mr Parkinson
