The Broken Arm

Today at school we had to practice what to do when someone has a critical injury such as a broken arm. We have done this to practice for camp in case someone gets hurt on a walk.

We had to get into our camp groups and discuss who would play the role as the injured person, the camera crew, and last but not least the 'Nurse'. Once that was done we had to take 6 photos for 6 scenes. For each photo we had to write instructions of what to do when someone is in agony.

We used glad wrap as a bandage for many reasons like, it is easy to twist to put more pressure on gashes, it won't stick to your skin if its a burn. Also when you need to see what's going on glad wrap is see through.

Today we had so much fun and I am looking forward to doing more work on First Aid.

  1. Wow Maddy, I hope you are around if I ever get hurt. If you wind the glad wrap under the elbow, it will provide more support. Nice job. These are effective and well explained instructions, brief and to the point.

  18. Hi Madison,

    Well done and thank you so much for sharing the photos on your blog! We're really excited to hear about all the clever ways in which our plastic wrap is being used. For sure you'll have a great time at camp and hopefully you won't need to apply what you've learned. But it's always good to be prepared, just in case! :)

    Kind regards
    The GLAD Team
