Tuesday - Survival Day

Survival Day

On Tuesday we did Survival Day. I was in group 2 with other people. The first thing we did is to number the 15 things that are important all the way down to useless with miss hills. The theme that we were in was the moon. There was a: Compass, Oxygen, Food containers, water, milk, emergency map, flare and other stuff I don’t remember.

After that we went to Ms Breuss Mcbride’s one which is playing games. First we played knots and crosses. Blue team and yellow team were winning. I was in yellow team.

After a few rounds of that we played skipping stones. It’s where we had to use our imagination to pretend theirs lava on the floor. We had 4 pieces of cardboard and we had to get all the way to the other side without touching the lava. If one person steps in the lava the whole group has to go back except the people that are at the other side.

The boys in my group went to the other side and abandoned the girls while everybody else already got to the other side. We were least successful (we were last). At least it was fun. We all went to sit down and tell Ms Breuss McBride who was great at the games or who was working hard to get their team to win so Ms Breuss McBride could write down their names for “Caught Being Good”.

Then we went to the Whaea Bex’s class where we learnt how to make 2 different kinds of slings, what to do if someone is bleeding badly and if there was a broken foot or a broken arm. After we learnt all that stuff we went to Ms Hollands class where we had to make exercise cube or we could make a card to anyone we chose to write to. For my exercise cube I put down do 5 laps around the field, do the plank for as long as you can, do 20 push ups, do the crab crawl for 2 minutes and do 20 burpees. For the card one I did a card for D’mitrius for helping me if I needed any help on something and for looking out for me.

For the last one we did a poster about being prepared in case a disaster happens. On my poster I put Stay Safe. Around that I put (we have to put down stuff we needed) water, canned food, radio and probably other stuff.

We stopped at around 2:40 PM to go to class then go home at 3:00.
