My Blog Profile

Bonjour, my name is Lakaia. I am 10 years old & I go to Ōtaki School.
One day I hope to go to Paris to see the Eiffel Tower. At school I like to play netball & I also like to do art. I also like it when our school has swimming sports.
Besides from art, reading is my favourite subject at school.
At home I like to bake & play outside on my trampoline.
My favourite animals are dogs & cats. All together I have 6 pets.

My College Visit

Today I went to Ōtaki Collage for a visit and when we got there Matua gave us a speech. We got to have a tour around so that when we go to collage next year we know where everything is. My top three favourite things we did were P.E, Science and Wood-Works.
In P.E. we got to play a game that involved team-work. We had to get through the ropes without touching them. Every rope we went through got cut out so we couldn't go through them again, we had to lift up the others to get them through the top ropes.
In science we got a sheet to write down what colour the chemical turned when we put it in the flame. It was very exciting to see the chemical turn a different colour.
When we went into wood-works Matua was making a Patu. There were more Māori carvings on the table too. We got to look at some of the tools he used, he also let us look at the wood he uses.
I had a great day.

My First Aid Training Class

This morning I went to my very first first aid training class in the hall. I learnt a lot of things about how to look after someone if they are choking, if they have broken bones or burns and also if they have a asthma attack. The first thing we did was learn about the recovery position. You have to lay them on their side a certain way so they have more chance of breathing.

Mel the instructor told us that the very first thing to do is check for danger. If someone is choking they won’t be able to talk or cough. If you come across somebody who has a broken bone tell them to keep still.

If someone has a burn cool the burn down with some ice or water. We also learnt about asthma if you see someone that is having an asthma attack sit them down and make sure they have had their inhaler .
