Team A-M prep for an emergency!

Last week, Year 2 class explored what to do in an emergency and how to speak to emergency responders if needed. We clarified what makes an ‘emergency’ and recapped the types of emergency responders (police, firefighters, paramedics, coastguard etc.), before exploring what dialling 999 actually means. We practised how to stay calm and ask for help and what important information to share, such as our name, where we might be, and what has happened. We also talked about what we could do if we were in an emergency but unable to call 999 – e.g. being lost. To build our confidence, we roleplayed dialling 999 and having a conversation with a responder in an emergency. Our challenge now is to learn our key personal information if there ever was an emergency.
