Our Ambulance Visit

This week we had a special visit from Nick (Matilda and Frieda’s dad). 

 Nick is an ambulance officer and came to our preschool to talk with us about when we should call an ambulance and what number we have to call. We discussed that we don't usually need an ambulance for a 'little hurt' such as a grazed knee. Our children identified that we call an ambulance if we have a 'big hurt' like a broken arm.

         We were very lucky to have the opportunity to have a look inside a real ambulance. 

Some of our children had their hearts traced and were able to see their heart beat on the monitor before it was printed out. Santai looked at his heart trace on the monitor and said “Wow.”

Our children asked Nick many questions as they observed all the gadgets inside the ambulance.  

Nick showed the children the oxygen mask before we ended our tour of the ambulance with a ride on the ambulance bed for some of our enthusiastic children.
