Whole-school Mini-medics

On Thursday 12th September our whole school will be learning how to be a mini-medic. 

Mini Medics teaches children about the importance of first aid. It shows them how to apply the techniques in a real-life situation. Therefore, children can remain calm in the event of an emergency and save a life.
