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”
