Hello, my name is Miss Roath.
Today we're going to be looking at the lesson called emergencies.
This fits into the lesson unit, staying safe and healthy.
How can I take responsibility for my health? Now in this lesson, we are going to be talking about emergencies and what to do if we find ourselves in an emergency.
This lesson might make you feel a little bit worried or uncomfortable, so it's recommended that you have a trusted adult with you before you continue watching.
Today's lesson outcome is I can describe what to do in an emergency.
Let's begin by taking a look at our ground rules together, and we've got some friends here to help us.
Laura says, we should listen to others, and that means not interrupting when somebody else is speaking.
Andeep says we should respect privacy, and that means if somebody decides to share a story or their own experience, that we don't go and repeat it to others outside of this lesson.
Jacob says, no judgement , and that means if somebody does decide to share our story or their own experience, that we don't judge them because of it.
And Izzy reminds us that we can choose our level of participation, and that means we can decide whether we simply just want to listen or if we want to share something throughout the lesson.
These ground rules here are here to help us stay safe in the lesson.
Here are today's key words, I will read them first to you and then you can repeat them after me.
Are you ready? Dangerous, emergency services, emergency.
Great job, dangerous means something that can cause us harm.
Emergency services are the people who help us if we are in danger, such as the police, firefighters or ambulance crew, and an emergency is a dangerous situation which needs immediate help.
Let's see if we can spot any of these keywords throughout today's lesson.
Here is the lesson's outline, and we're going to begin with, what is an emergency? There are lots of rules in life that help us to stay safe and protect us from dangerous things.
Jacob says "We should hold our trusted adults' hand when crossing a road." Aisha says, "We must wear our helmets when we ride a bike." and Sam says "We should pass scissors very carefully with the handles up and the blades in our palm." These are different types of rules that help us to stay safe and protect us from dangerous things.
Why is this rule important? Jacob says, we should hold our trusted adult's hand when crossing a road.
Why is this rule important? Roads can be dangerous because of cars and other vehicles.
Our trusted adults help us by deciding where and when it is safe to cross.
How about this rule, why is this one important? Aisha says, we must wear a helmet when we ride a bike.
Hmm, this rule is important because we could fall off a bike, so wearing a helmet protects our head from injuries.
How about this one? Sam says, we should pass scissors very carefully with the handles up and the blades in our palm.
Why is this one important? This rule is important because scissors can be dangerous because they are sharp.
Passing them carefully stops people from getting hurt.
Time project for understanding, why are rules important? Is it's A, because they can stop us from getting hurt.
B, because they help us to stay safe, or C, because they protect us from dangerous things.
Hmm, why are rules important? Pause this video so you can have something thinking time.
Well done if you said all of them A, B and C are the correct answers.
Rules are important because they can stop us from getting hurt because they help us to stay safe and because they protect us from dangerous things.
Well done if you got that correct.
Even if we follow rules, accidents can happen.
Trusted adults can help us with minor, which means small injuries.
Jacob says, I scraped my arm on the climbing frame at school last week.
My teacher helped me to clean my skin and gave me a plaster.
Aisha says, yesterday I bumped my knee on the slide at the park.
My grandma gave me an ice pack for the bruise when we got home.
These are both examples of minor injuries.
Other accidents might need the help of emergency services because they are more serious.
Police Officer Paula says, an emergency is a sudden danger to someone or something.
If help isn't given quickly, things could get worse.
For example, serious harm to a life or property.
Time for a check for understanding, fill in the blanks below.
An emergency is a sudden to someone or something.
If help isn't given quickly, things could get, hmm.
Fill in the blanks below.
Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.
Well done if you said danger and worse.
An emergency is a sudden danger to someone or something.
If help isn't given quickly, things could get worse.
Time for a task now, for the following statements, put a tick next to those that you think are an emergency.
Pause this video so you can have some time to do the task and then we will go through the answers together.
Well done for having a go, you should have ticked three statements.
You should have ticked this one that says someone having trouble breathing after exercise.
You should have also ticked a toddler eating something dangerous, and you should have also ticked smoke coming from a bin at the park.
These are all examples of emergencies.
For the second part of the task, I would like you to give a reason why these two are not emergencies.
Pause this video so you can have some time to do the task and then we will go through the answers together.
Well done for having a go.
Your answer could have included getting a graze or bruise are minor injuries and can be treated by our trusted adult.
For example, our trusted adult could clean a graze or give us an ice pack for bumps.
Well done if your answer was similar to mine.
We are now going to move on to the second and final part of our lesson.
What should we do in an emergency? If there is an emergency, it's important to try to stay calm.
Police officer Paula says it's normal to feel worried in an emergency, but try to stay calm by taking a few deep breaths.
Being calm will help our brains to think more clearly about what we need to do.
Time for a check for understanding, true or false? If there is an emergency, we should try to stay calm.
You can give me a thumbs up if you think it's true or a thumbs down if you think it's false.
If there is an emergency, we should try to stay calm, true or false? Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.
Well done if you said true, it's important not to put ourselves in danger.
Police Officer Paula says, as much as we might want to help, if we put ourselves in a dangerous situation, we might end up needing help too.
We can use a phone to call the emergency services on 999.
This will still work on a mobile phone, even if it is locked with a password.
Police officer Paula says, when you call 999, you will get through to an operator who will ask you, which services please? You will then need to tell them which emergency service you need.
If you are not sure, you can explain what has happened and they will send you to the right service to help you.
There are three main emergency services in the UK.
Police, fire and ambulance.
The police service is there to look after people and protect property.
For example, the police could be called if people were ruining play equipment at a local park or if there was a road accident.
The fire service is there to protect people and property in case of a fire.
For example, the fire service might be called out to smoke coming from a bin in a park.
They may also help the police deal with road accidents and the ambulance service is there to protect people when their health is in danger.
For example, an ambulance might be called if a person was having trouble breathing.
The ambulance service may also help the police deal with road accidents too.
Time for a check for understanding.
For each emergency service, describe its role.
Pause this video so you can have some time to do the task.
Well done for having a go.
Your answers might include, for the police, they need to protect people and property.
For the fire service, they protect people and property in case of fire.
And for the ambulance service, their role is to protect people when their health is in danger.
Well done if you said something similar.
Mountain rescue is also a parcel of the emergency.
The weather on mountains can quickly become dangerous, and an emergency might include getting stuck or injured.
In case of an emergency on a mountain, we should call 999 and ask for mountain rescue.
The Coast Guard is another part of the emergency services.
An example of an emergency on the coast might be a fall near cliffs or someone struggling at sea.
In case of an emergency on the coast, we should call 999 and ask for the Coast Guard.
Time for a check for understanding, true or false? If someone has an injury on a mountain, we should call 999 and ask for the Coast Guard.
Give me a thumbs up if you think it's true, or a thumbs down if you think it's false.
If someone has an injury on a mountain, we should call 999 and ask for the Coast Guard.
True or false? Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.
Well done if you said false.
If someone has an injury on a mountain, we should call 999 and ask for mountain rescue.
The Coast Guard is for emergencies near the coast.
It's in the name, Coast Guard and Coast.
If we phone 999, giving detailed information helps the emergency services to get to where they're needed faster.
Police Officer Paula says the operator will need to know where the emergency is and what has happened.
If we don't know exactly where we are, we can give a landmark.
This is a building or place that's easy to find.
We should never call 999 if something isn't an emergency.
Police Officer Paula says, if we waste the emergency services' time, there might be real emergencies that cannot get help that they actually need.
Time for a check for understanding.
Hmm, if we phone 999 in an emergency, we should tell the operator, A, where we are, B, what our pet's name is, or see what has happened.
Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.
Well done if you said A and C, if we phone 999 in emergency, we should tell the operator where we are and what has happened.
Time for a task now.
Read the information and answer the questions.
Pause this video so you can have some time to do the task and then we will go through the answers together.
Well done for having a go.
Your answers to the questions could include.
So the first question said, what number should they call? You should have said they should call 999.
The second question asks, which emergency surfaces do they need? And you should have said they need an ambulance.
And the third question says, what two pieces of information should they give to the operator? And you should have said, they should say that they're at Sundown Park so they know where the emergency happened and explain what has happened.
Well done if you got those answers correct.
This brings us to the end of our lesson.
Thank you for joining with me today.
Here is a summary of everything that we've covered in today's lesson.
An emergency is a sudden danger to someone or something.
The emergency services can help in dangerous situations.
The three main emergency services are the police, the fire service and the ambulance service.
Mountain rescue and the Coast Guard are also part of the emergency services.
We can phone the emergency services on 999.
We must explain which service we need, where we are and what has happened.
We must never phone 999 unless it is a real emergency, as this could stop help from getting to where it's really needed.
Here is a slide with different places that you can get support.
We have the NHS Live Well.
The NHS provide advice about healthy living, exercise, quitting smoking, and drinking less alcohol.
And we have the NHS website where the website provides advice about health and prevention, including how to access services.
