Lesson summary
This topic introduces Primary 1 learners to the fundamental concept of First Aid. It is crucial for learners to understand that minor accidents and injuries can happen at any time, both at home and in school. Knowing basic First Aid allows them to respond appropriately to simple injuries or illnesses before professional medical help arrives. This knowledge fosters a sense of responsibility, safety, and care for themselves and others within their immediate environment, such as when a classmate falls during play or a sibling gets a small cut at home.
Teacher activity
Begins by asking students simple questions about minor injuries they may have experienced or seen (e.g., "Has anyone ever fallen down and scraped their knee?" "What did your mummy or daddy do to help?"). List some responses on the board.
