Mountain Rescue Centre Mantle of the Expert

We kicked off our Mountains topic by designing our very own Mountain Rescue centre. In teams we drew floor plans for our rescue centres and thought hard about what they might have inside them. 

One group drew a simulation room; for simulating rescue scenarios to train staff and prepare trekkers. This led us into freeze framing some photographs of mountain rescues in action to display around the rescue centre and to recreate in the simulation room as training exercises.

As mountain rescue experts we reflected on how tough it may be attending mountain rescue situations and how we might feel during and after these high risk rescue situations. We worked hard to show not tell these emotions in our photograph freeze frames.

​Our mountain rescue team now has an established rescue centre full of necessary supplies and are ready for our first rescue mission.
