Triathlon

On wednesday 30 of february the Franklin schools triathlon was on. It was at clarks beach.I was in the ten year olds group.In a triathlon you swim first then bike and last you run.In the run i had the fifth fastest time out of the ten year old girls group!In the ten year old girls group we have to swim 100 metres bike 4 kilometres and run 2 kilometres! it's pretty exhausting!! I may not have come first second or even third but i do know that i tried my hardest and i am proud!

St Johns

On Thursday the 31 March room 9 went to the old room 8 for St Johns. First we were learning about what we should take care of first like if someone is sitting in the corner screaming ouch ouch it hurts you know they are breathing so you should check on the quiet person because they might be dead or dying. Secondly we were practicing what to do whe someone is unconscious like dialling 111 and to not leave them lying on their back that's why we learnt to turn them to their side gently without hurting them. Lastly we practiced bandaging. Practing bandaging is when you are banaging someones cut bodypart that is really bad. IT was great I couldn't wait to tell my family about it.
