FE Centre
In FE Survival lessons, we have been learning how to treat burns, scalds, bleeding, bites and stings.
Students have been looking at ways of identifying different kinds of bleeds and have learnt how to recognise and deal with the signs of shock.
They have then gone on to practise bandaging techniques and how to keep themselves safe whilst administering basic first aid.
Students in F.E have the opportunity to work towards vocational qualifications some of these qualifications include attending the local college.
Our students are working towards an NVQ qualification in Hair and Beauty.
Each week a group of F.E students prepare and cook their own lunches. We have been focusing on safe use of equipment and on improving our chopping and peeling skills.
In order to develop our independence skills, pupils from FE have been going to the Training Flat at Lancaster and Morecambe College once a week.
On our way to the flat we go shopping for the ingredients needed to cook our lunch. Once at the flat we have been practicing the skills we need to make ourselves a meal such as: opening cans, jars and packets, using the hob, weighing ingredients and peeling and chopping.
Once we have eaten our lunch we make sure we clean and tidy everything we have used including sweeping the floor and vacuuming the carpet.
Our horticulture group have been preparing the raised beds in our allotment area, and tidying up around the sensory garden. We are looking forward to to growing our own vegetables.
In our leisure out sessions, we have been developing our skills in Kuk Sool, at the John Ward School of Korean Martial Arts. We have been learning different breathing and warm up techniques, how to punch and kick properly to defend ourselves, and how to fall safely.
