Topic overviewSuggested timing for session (excluding optional activities) is 45 minutes.Teaching staff notes:Delivery of this session must ensure that all students are able to maintain the safety of themselves and others. Students will be able to identify when a bite or sting requires treatment and act accordingly. These actions should include looking after a casualty and reassuring them, seeking medical help if required and administration of basic first aid skills. Throughout this topic, students will gain an understanding that an allergic response to a bite or sting can be serious and they must act calmly to get help, assist and monitor a casualty until help arrives.?They should be able to identify the signs of a serious allergic reaction (anaphylaxis).Before delivering any first aid skills, teachers must feel confident that they have the relevant knowledge and competency to safely teach techniques.It is advised that students are taught the topic on basic life support skills prior to this session. A casualty having a severe allergic reaction to a bite or sting could deteriorate and basic life support may be the appropriate action required. (see recommended KS2 first aid pathway)Session timings: Recommended timing is a minimum of 45 minutes. Delivery time can vary according to group size and the learner’s prior subject knowledge. There are a range of optional activities that are excluded from these timings. The optional content may be used to extend the lesson duration or even as a separate learning session aimed at recap or extend learning.Approximate timing guides are provided for each optional activity to assist with planning and preparation of sessions.For this session, learning materials will be: PowerPoint presentationFlip chart paperA4 Paper PensColoured pens for pupils to amend own workSee optional activities for specific resources required for each activity3.

Learning outcomesBy the end of the lesson, students will be able to:Identify when a casualty is having an allergic reaction to a bite or stingProvide first aid treatment for a casualty who has been bitten or stungComfort and reassure a casualty who has been bitten or stung Seek medical help if required5. Details of activities and resources requiredNote: Feel free to choose activities to fit the time you have available. For example, you could do one task from each introduction, main input and optional categories.IntroductionActivityResources requiredUse accompanying PowerPoint presentation.Bites and stingsFirst aid steps: (5 min)Ask the students to use their existing first aid knowledge to see if they can complete any of the missing steps. Students should write in the boxes any actions that they feel would fit into a sequence of events that would allow them to help a casualty who has been bitten or stung. At the end of the session you must revisit this and see if students can make any amends or add further information (using a different colour pen)Slide 1Explain the main learning outcomes of the session.Establish ground rules for the session using the additional advice sheet provided.Slide 4Main InputActivityResources requiredBites and stings (5 min)Use the PowerPoint to outline information relating to bites and stings Emphasis on the fact that a serious allergic reaction to a bite or sting can be life threatening Explain that if swelling occurs in the airway then it is difficult to breathe, and a casualty may not be able to get air (oxygen) into their bodySlides 5-6Bites and stings (10 min)Ask students to think of 5 things that could cause a bite or sting injury. Use worksheet A21 to collate answers and ask open questions to get students to consider the impact of the bite and sting, ask for descriptions regarding what the wound could look like e.g. would it be large or deep? Would there be minor or severe bleeding?How would bites differ depending on origin of bite. What would the casualty feel? Use images on the screen to support the discussion.Looking at the slide, have an open discussion on what safety measures could be put in place to reduce risk of harm to themselves or others e.g. making sure that a dog is secured, do not touch beehives or nests.Consider using wipe board or paper to write responses and compareSlides 7-8Activity A21 Bites and stings charades (activity 10 min)Place students into small groups and hand out the cards that identify the cause of a bite or sting. One person must then imitate, non-verbally, the cause to the rest of group, and they must try to guess what it is. Once done so, they must decide if it bites or stings.Note: You will need to print out the cards for the animals or insects that can bite or sting. You can also print out the bubbles that identify if it will cause a bite or a sting.Slide 9, activity sheet A20What can go wrong? (10 min)Explain that a bite or sting can cause some further complications sometimes. Explain that infections can occur because of a bite/sting and a tetanus injection may be required (consider rabies injection also) for puncture wounds of skin. Note, they tend not to offer a tetanus injection IF the person is up to date with their immunisations because it is included in the program of injections.Allergic reactions can be severe and life threatening (anaphylaxis) and a casualty should be monitored in case they show signs of a reaction (further learning regarding this is available on allergies topic SJA schools first aid sessions).Signs and symptoms of an allergic reaction can be swelling, redness, feeling faint, nausea, stomach pains, wheezing and difficulty breathing.Slides 10-11Practical activity (20 min)Use slides and consider printing your turn sheets as a handout, this will support the demonstration and skills needed for dealing with an animal/human bite and an insect bite/sting.Students then have a turn and use key steps to simulate looking after a casualty. Ensure that they remember to reassure the casualty and use decision making skills and rationale to decide if their casualty needs to seek medical attention. Teacher to observe and feedback to students. As an option the student could use peer assessment and score their partners. The teacher could use the starter activity to revisit and assess progress made from start of lesson.Students could revisit starter activity to assess progress made against baseline assessment.Scenario cards are available which the teacher can use to make the practical activity relevant in a certain context for students.Slides 12-15, your turn sheets for: Severe reaction Bites Stings Tick bites Casualty Care: This slide offers an opportunity for students to discuss how casualty care skills link to this topic. This allows for contrast and comparison against other topics, whilst also showing how topics are linked.Slide 16Check for Learning:This slide offers an opportunity to revisit learning outcomesStudents should revisit the starter activity to assess progress. Using a different colour pen, can students now complete this task more accurately than they could before?Slide 17Optional ActivityActivity (10 min each)Resources requiredUsing worksheet A21, student should identify five animals or insects that can bite. Student should circle if this injury would be potentially mild or severe and provide a rationale for the answer given. Slide 21, activity A216. Check learningUse slide 17 to revisit learning outcomes and see how confident the student is on managing this first aid situation and administering first aid.Ask open questions about safety, allergic reactions, signs and symptoms and complications.Ask ‘what would you do if’ questions.Ask children what they have learnt from the session.Peer assess partners during the practical activity.Students should revisit the starter activity to assess progress. Using a different colour pen, can students now complete this task more accurately than they could before? The content on slides 22-24 can be used to check answers. 7.
