St John Visit

Kirsty Sutherland from St John came to Taieri Beach School to teach us how to take care of injuries and allergies.

Asthma Attack- check to see if they have an inhaler. Get them to breathe it in for as long as they can.

Bleeding - go to your first aid kit and get put a gauze and bandage. Wash the cut and put the gauze on underneath the bandage. If teh bleeding is really bad cal an ambulance.

Allergies - if you see someone turning red or puffing up check to see if they have an epipen. It looks like a needle. Stab it in their thigh - it doesn't matter if they are wearing clothes, it will go straight through. But if they are wearing a wetsuit, take it off.

Burns - if it's a burn from a fire, rinse it under cold water. If it is sunburn, put after sun on, aloe vera is the best choice.

Bee stings - get a flat card and slide it under the sting. Don't try this if it is a wasp sting because they take their stinger with them unlike bees.

Thank you Kirsty or teaching us what to do in emergencies.

Water Testing with the University of Otago Chemistry Outreach Team

Dave the scientist and his helpers Beth and Sam visited Taieri Beach School. They brought Shihah, a teacher from Malaysia, who was very impressed with the science our children were doing.

Paddy and Liam collected water samples from the river, the bend in the river, by the bridge and by the sandbar.
