What a fantastic day!

The children had a brilliant time learning CPR and how to use a defibrillator.

Thank you to the amazing grown-ups who showed us what to do!

Today is World Restart a Heart Day. All across the country children are learning fantastic life saving skills.

We had some very special visitors in school today who have shown us how to start a heart if it stops beating.

Our visitors were three parents who work tirelessly for the emergency…

In order to celebrate this and raise awareness, we will be taking part in World Restart a Heart Day on 16th October. We have a range of medical professionals coming into school to teach…
