Netball tournament
On Tuesday the 27th of August our netball team went to anzac park for the netball tournament. It was brought together bye quite a few schools like Greymain, St. patricks A, St. patricks B, Awahono, Cobden, Kararo, Paroa and us. Our first game was against Karoro they started very strong and got some quick points, but as we got through the game we started playing better. Our next game was paroa they started very strong as well they got heaps of points but we were lucky enough to score. As the day went on we played more games and lost. so that means we lost all our games but we got way better and played more like a team. We ended up getting 8th. Grey main was the champions and took first place home.

St John Workshop
On Thursday the 22nd of August Katherine from St John in schools came and taught us about what to do if we find someone unconscious or has a severe bleed.
The first step when you find a unconscious person is make sure it is safe for you self to get to the person without hurting yourself.
The second step is to see if they are awake or sleeping, so what you could say is "hey mate you ok" if they don't respond like talk or look at you then you move on to the next step which is.
The third step is send for help. so that means if you have a phone or the patient have a phone call 111 immediately.
The fourth step is clear the airway, how we do this is we tilt the head back and lift the chin because that makes the tongue come back to the front of the mouth if it was blocking the airway.
The fifth step is look and listen to find out if they are breathing. how we do this is we put our hand just above the rib cage and watch our hand as we put our face up to their nose and mouth to feel there breath, we stay in this position for 10 seconds.

Ski trip
On Thursday the 15th of august the year 7&8's went on a ski trip. We all met at Blackball and jumped into the blackball community van and the newmans truck. (Thanks Ryan for taking me to the ski field.) We left at about 7:25 after about 1 hour of driving we stopped at Arthurs pass for a little walk around, some people also needed to use the facilities. After about 10 minutes we got back on the road.
After about an hour driving we got to porters ski field. when we got there we all got our jackets and pants on and some of us got a little snack, then we all walked down to the gear hire place and got our boots and skies. When everyone was ready our instructor led us up to the ski field, when we got up there we learnt how to stop and go. When we got the hang of it we could go up the conveyer belt and learn how to stay the same speed. After we did that we just kept going up and down until everyone was finished. then we did a test to see if we could go up onto the pomer. Jess and Reagan were the only two from our school that past that test and everyone else including me were stuck this little sucky hill. But after lunch Ms bearings talked to the office people and got us a lesson so that we can go on the pomer.(A huge thanks to Sven who taught us to turn and stop on a steeper slope.) For the first few times we only went up half way, then when we were all ready we went all the way to the top and then went down a couple times. Then after we all came down from the top we then went back to the vehicles and got changed and returned all the skies and boots. when everyone was back into the vehicles we left porters ski field and so the journey began back home.(Thanks Cathie and all the other parents who helped with transport.)

Snow Day
In the weekend I had league training at Hargreaves park in the morning. When we got there it was a nice day but as the day went on the weather got worse so the coaches decided to end the training a bit early. On the way home there was sleet start coming down. And then it started to rain. But as we got further along the road it started to snow a bit heavier. When we got to stillwater and we seen that the snow was starting to set and Dad could see some black ice on the road so was driving very slow. When we got home I jumped straight into the shower to warm up. When I got out I was starving and wanted something to eat so I went outside to our freezer and got out two pies and cooked them. But as they were cooking I was looking for the sauce but I soon realized that we had no sauce! After I finished my lunch we all went outside and changed the rubber wear in the cow shed. When we finished we went and got the calves from the paddock. that day we had two calves die because of the cold weather and snow. After we got all the calves and fed them. We then went back to the house and I let my dog out and he started to run and jump in the snow. As he got used to the snow and the cold he started to eat the snow. And that is how my snow day went!
