Water safety lesson with Whaia Moe

  Today we had a lesson with Whaia Moe. The lesson was all about how we should be safe around water or when we are in the water.

The first thing we did was to talk about hazard, risks and deprivation.after that Whaia Moe told us a true story about a old man.

She told us that the old man was walking and he sliped, when he sliped he hit his head and felt really Unconscious, his head also went into a small puddle And he started to drown.

After the that story she told us to lye down and we had to put one hand up and say ''help".

When that was over we had sit back up and listen to another story, this time the story was about 3 teenage boys, so she said one of the boys asked his 2 friends if they wanted to play who can hold their breath in the longest, when 2 of the boys came up they decided to hold their friend down, but after that the boy ended up in hospital and it was the end for him.

after we heard about it we wern't even laughing about it, it sounded really sad.

Then we started talking about currents and people drowning

The lesson had ended and we all said bye to Whaia Moe.
