Year 7/8 sailing trip

 We are learning how to sail.

Yesterday the year 7/8s went sailing.

First when  we arrived Kerry met us at our bus and took us over to meet Neil and Laurrie. 

Neil started to teach us how to put the boat together and get into groups of 3. 

I went with Gabby and Jennah. We got our bits for our boat and put it together, so we did. After we built the boats we started practising staring and controling the sail. Soon after that we had our morning tea and got changed into our wetsuits if you had one. 

Next it was time to get into the water, the water was very warm first up it was Jennah I was getting quite nervous because I didnt want to get wet. 

And I didnt, but the day wasnt over it was only lunch time Neil said now you are going to go 2 people in a boat ao first up I went with Jennah and I broke the Tilller but it popped back on.

Then we had to go back to school. 

I had a great day sailing yesterday and I cant wait to go next year.

Here is my labels of the part of the boat. 

Have you ever been sailing?

Year 7/8 tough run.

We are learning to give things a try. 

Today the year 7/8s did the tough run. 

I enjoyed running threw the water although it was freezing and went up pus my waist.

There was heaps of schools I was very suprised.

There were alot of fun obstacles and a big fire hose waiting for us at the end. 

Some people from our class got interviewed by 1 news. 

The event was at South New Brighton domain. 

I had a great day at the tough run. 

Have you ever done a tough run?

Planting and reusing bottles.

 WALT: Show a way we can show Stewardship.

We should be sustainable because we need to care for the Earth because it dosent have unlimited resources. 

We have shown sustainability because we are reusing bottles and growing plants.

We should help our enviroment because we need to protect animals because there are15,000 animal species are nearly going ecxtinct.  People are cutting down the trees.

People are killing rhinos just for there horn.

My process of making my pot plant is, first cutting my bottle to the size I want, second make a plan of what I want to paint on my bottle, after that you painted it I wanted to do a minion but that did not work. 

Once you painted it you potted it and pick your flower I did the cornflower polkadot mixed.

They look like very pretty flowers. Now I just need to take care of it and water it.

Here is my plant. 

What is your favourite flower? 

The DRSABCD

WALT: Learn First aid. 

Today for first aid we learnt the acronym of DRSABCD.

D Danger look for danger for 5 seconds.

R Response see if they can respond. 

S Send for help and call 111. 

A Airway see if there tounge is blocking there airway. 

B Breathing see if they ae breathing check for 10 seconds.

C Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation. For CPR you push down on there heart and pump blood threw there body, and get oxygen to there brain. To do the right thing with your hand you link your hands and your knuckles together.

D Defib AED When the patient gets a shock to start there heart back up. 

I practised doing the DRSABCD on my buddy. 

I also tried doing CPR on a manikin it was very hard. 

You dont do it to a real person because you could stop there heart from pumping. 

We also practised doing bandages on other people. 

I really enjoyed learning about First aid.

Do you know the DRSABCD?
