The First Aid Kit

While planning the trip to Golden Eagle, many students wondered about safety; what would happen if they got hurt and who would help them.

Three students followed up on these questions, they interviewed the school nurse. On their return, they presented their learning and key points to the rest of the class.

• Alejandra “We go to the nurse and we said, ‘can we have the bag to go to Golden eagle?’”
• Jasmine “And then we go to the nurse, we ask the nurse we can take the bag to Golden Eagle.”
• Alejandra “And then the Nurse let us go to the bag and then she show us ice pack.”
• Ethan “And nurse, bag put 1 down.”
• Alejandra “And then she put all the things on the table and show us, and open it and show us all the things.”

• Alejandra “There I am holding it and I take off, we need to break the blue cap and then we need to take the water from here and we can then put it where it hurt.”

• Ethan “If you hurt yourself somewhere you can put it on. You put it on the hand. Because Ms. Ellen is pretending she is hurt.” (in Mandarin)

• Ethan “When the mosquito bites you, you can use it to put it on. The mosquito does not like the smell.” (in Mandarin)

• Ruby “How do people get sick in the playground?”
• Alejandra “If you get hot, hot, hot (fever) in the playground and then you have to take this (strawberry flavoured medication) to get it down.
• Amber “When I was a kid I had a fever, then I put that on my head.” (ice pack) (in Mandarin)  
• Michelle “I haven’t used this for a long time but I had a fever several times and I used that too.”
• Jiwoo “I have band aid.”

• Alejandra “Teacher needs to hold it because teachers know how to do it.” (first Aid kit)
• Freida “One day when I was sick and another medicine. Other medicine from the nurse.”
• Alejandra “Strawberry one?”
• Freida “I had one day.”
• Teacher How many first Aid kits do we have to take?
• Alejandra “1. Because another class, because Ms. Ellen has another 1 or maybe we can share this with another class so to go to Golden Eagle.”
• Teacher “How many groups are going to the Golden Eagle?”
• Alejandra “3 Groups. Our class, Ms. Hannah class and Ms. Karen’s class.
• All the students decided that we would need 3 Fist Aid kits.
