Air Ambulance Workshop

 Alongside our mufti day for the Air Ambulance, Year 4 were chosen to have a workshop from the team to inform than more about what the service provides.

We discovered that it cost approx £3500 each time the Air Ambulance is called out, that last year alone there were approx 170 calls to the island, and that one single pair of night vision goggles costs £18,000.

Children learnt about the app What3Words and how this can give exact information of location, through role play they learnt how to call for and ask for an ambulance and the questions they might be asked, and how the air ambulance is scrambled and how they help. 

There were a lot of thoughtful questions being asked - well done Year 4!

Not only have we been traversing tricky number lines but we have been diving into the flexible partitioning of some pretty big numbers.# We have been using base 10 to help us represent our numbers. This has been particularly helpful when we've had numbers in the thousands and we have had to partition them.
