EOTC Week With Pohutakawa

Pohutukawa E.O.T.C. Week.  
As I wake up to a fresh start I start to plan my day. ‘Hmmmmm today is the first day of E.O.T.C. week’ I remind myself.


Monday
On Monday we walked down to the Aotea  lagoon and played. We also had morning tea and lunch there.. It was a very hot day and we had to walk up the hill and back up to school. When we reached school I just wanted to go to sleep.


Tuesday.
Tuesday was the day that we had learnt how to survive anything and how to do bandages and slings. We also did different activities like doing a poster about what you need to survive earthquakes and different disasters.



Wednesday.
Wednesday was a fun day because we went to Te Papa  for the whole day and got split into different groups. My group was learning about bugs, birds  and insects. One thing I learnt about birds are that the common birds like Moa got extinct after the europeans came to New Zealand and shot them and hunted for the Moa. After Te papa we had to go home but in the afternoon we came back for a year 5&6 sleepover. When I arrived to the school hall I was lit up, my eyes were flamed up and I was a statue. I walked in the hall with a lot of people running up to me. I wanted to sleep next to my friend but there was no room so the person next to her said ‘do you want to sleep next to her’? She said ‘yes please’ so I laid my mattress down and made my bed. I went outside to burn some energy. It was getting dark outside so I decided to put a warm jersey on. The loud whistle went ‘ please come and sit down ‘said one of the teachers. Now it's time to go outside and play spotlight. So all the children ran and hid. The whistle goes again so it's time to go back in the hall. As I curled into my comfy bed a loud sound came on and we were watching a movie on a big screen like the cinamas. When they paused the movie I got up and walked my way to the bathroom with my toothbrush in one hand and the toothpaste in the other. After I did that I put it back in my bag and curled up again. With a surprise they switched off the lights and everyone started panicking and slowly started to calm down. In the shadows I saw one big shadow crouching over my bed side. I slowlyit back in my bag and curled up again. With a surprise they switched off the lights and everyone started panicking and slowly started to calm down. In the shadows I saw one big shadow crouching over my bed side. I slowly started to knock off. ‘ COME ON IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP’ shouted Miss HIlls. So I grab my clothes for today and get ready like a normal day. We all have to run two laps of the field. I jog back huffing and puffing. I slowly walk back inside and we had a choice for breakfast and it was either weetbicks or  toast.
