A few days ago, we had First Aid Day, and everyone in class learnt what to do in a situation involving injuries. The following day, our teacher Nic decided it would be a good test to see if the Te Kinga students could put their newfound skills and knowledge to good use.
So a few students in class were chosen to pretend they were hurt on our big day out around our tiny village of Moana. Kaelyn suffered hypothermia, I had a badly bruised leg, Jimi broke his arm, Morgan cut her hand and Tui endured a burn. It was quite funny really for the people acting, as the other students had no clue we had planned this experiment, but after Kaelyn recovered instantly from her nasty case of hypothermia, they got the general idea.
After our acting was done, it was time to test our survival skills. First we were split into groups and had the challenge of making tents given only a tarp apart from sticks and things you could collect from the land as equipment. And the tents had to be waterproof. If they weren't? Well, you got wet when Nic splashed a bucket of water over the top!
After our tent-making, we all made fires along the lakeside, and it was time to make smores before we headed back to school.
