The PTA at our school organize a Healthy Carnival event at the school today. Various vendors set up booths to educate both students and their parents about different entities of healthy living. This ranged from firefighters teaching about how to avoid house fires, paramedics teaching about CPR, a yoga instructor holding a yoga session, and outdoor fitness games.
Kaelia's class has been studying healthy living in their current unit, so she actually worked at one of the booths that her class prepared ahead of time. She had a bucket for visitors to pull out a picture of food to then stick on to a large diagram of food groups. Then if someone correctly placed the picture, she handed out a sticker. She did a great job and really enjoyed the booth - especially when she had a chance to guide her own friends through the game.
One of the highlights of the event was the ambulance station where a paramedic taught the girls about what an ambulance does for people and how to call them when an emergency arises. The paramedic put bandages and a neck brace on the girls and then brought them inside an actual ambulance. At the end, they got to set off the siren.
Another great booth was the fire station where the girls got to use a fire extinguisher to put out a real fire in the back of the school. Overall, the entire Healthy Carnival was a hug success.
