Te Papa, Nga Taonga

On Wednesday we went to Te Papa and the Nga Taonga sound division.

First we went to Te Papa, The year 5 and 6 students got split into groups and everyone had a team leader mine was Nina’s older sister Liana. When we got there we had a bit to eat then we went inside. When we got inside we put our bags in this locker then we set off on a journey around the place.

The first place we went was the Nga Te Toa exhibition where we learnt about the great people of the tribe and how they got here. Next we went to the pasifika area where we learnt about the different was the they would survive. Next we went to the big squid. After that we went down stairs to leave.

Next we went to the Nga Taonga sound division. The division told us about how the thing came to be today most of the time i was a sleep so I didn’t really learn anything.

Survival Day

On Tuesday all of Pohutukawa had a survival day, we had mixed groups that would go around to about five different class and we would learn something that could help us to survive, well most of them.

My first class was room 8 we made cubes or Christmas cards. Me and all my mates made cubes while the girls next to me made Christmas cards, with the cube we had to write things that you want your friends to do, if you roll it and it lands on a deer they will have to do it(the deer could be anything). After a while my hands got sticky and sore from cutting and gluing.

My second class was room 11 I had Miss Kyle, we made a safety list. On the list we had to put things that we thought would help us to survive. Most of the things on the list were things you could find in your house

The next class I went to wasn’t really a class it was more a fun zone, it was with my teacher Mrs Beuss-McBride she had us playing games. The two games we played where Nots and Cross and Hopping Stones. Sadly both those we didn’t win

My favourite class was room 10 with mrs Hills we learnt that things that are usually dangerous could be helpful without killing somebody, like a gun. If you were lost in space and you only had a raft and a gun. You have a locations to get to but it takes about 5 hours, how would you save time. What we did was use the gun as a force pushing you forward while you sit in the raft.

My last class was room 17 where we learnt how to stop blood from pouring out and how to save someone from choking.

My favourite quote from there was “ apply pressure and alleviate”

Aotea Lagoon

On Monday Pohutukawa went down to Aotea Lagoon. We all went down at about nine o’clock and got there about nine thirty because we had to cross the road at the work sites.

When we got there the teachers went over so rules to keep us all safe, then we a bit to eat then some of us went and started playing. Norry, Tiare, Kyara, Kaizen, Nina, Navarone, Tepaeru, Va’atino, Mya, Rangimarie, Aiden H, Lennox S, Lennox J, Hibiscus, Meretiaho and I played a game of ball tag. It was boys against girls.

After a long time of playing we had lunch then we started playing again. So of the boys had a game of rugby but that didn’t last because some people got hurt. On the fire was tuger war, jump rope, cricket and more. After we played for about three hours me and some others where chilling under a tree.

For a bit a was alone and i was playing on the swing, when I got high enough I would jump off and got hurt. When we finished at the lagoon we had to walk all the way back the hill, we had to line up in our class so that the teacher could do the roll then we all went for that long walk. On the walk there was a lot of people walking into poles and getting hurt, but when we finally got to school we all got a drink and went home.

My favourite thing about the days was having a great day with all my friends at the lagoon.
