Netball tournament

A few days ago we had a netball tournament and we played five matches that were twenty minutes long with two minute break in between.We didn't win any games but we did improve a lot as we carried on playing.Our last game we got really good we didn't win but it was a good game.It was also fun.I enjoyed the netball tournament a lot because I improved.

St John's

Today on the 22nd of the 8th we learnt about how to save someone's life.We were taught by a st john worker and her name is Katherine about if someone was lying on the ground knocked out what we would do to save someone.We were taught drsabcd which stands for danger,response,send for help,airway,breathing,cpr and defib/defibrillation.We ended up doing drsab and the st john worker said that she will come back and tell us about cd.We had to have partners to work with to do 3 activities she gave us.The first activity was how to help someone if they are unconscious you look for any surrounding danger then you respond to the patient so you tap them on their collar bone to see if they are sleeping.When they are sleeping they will wake up but if they don't respond to you.You send for help if there is no help, then check if they are breathing by putting your ear up close to their nose and put your hand in the middle of the chest, but before you do that tilt their head back because if they are unconscious their body goes floppy including the tung and if the tung flops back that will stop air from going through the airway.After we had to pull them on their side and rotate so that the next person will do the same thing.         

The year 7 and 8's went on a ski trip where we experienced how to stop and how to keep balanced while skiing.It was my first time skiing so I had no experience and then I started to get better the more I practiced.We had to do this test which was about turning around cones and at the start of the test I didn't get it so I did it again but by that time the instructor had left they said that we couldn't go up the medium hill Me and my friend Harry asked one of the instructors if they could watch us do the test again but they refused because it was kind of near the end of they day and they don't do anymore tests at the end of the day.So our principal took us to this place to ask if we can go up the medium hill and they said that they will get an instructor in five minutes.Later on the instructor took us up and we learnt how to ski down it.Then we had a couple more goes before we left.I enjoyed it and I am glad that I know how to ski.       

Winter weekend
