Poor Sean!


Poor Sean came to the staffroom in a distressed state after getting an enormous splinter in his foot. (From walking on the deck in bare feet)

Three centimetres of the jagged splinter, thick as a matchstick, were still protruding from the wound and the shocked teachers were unsure how far the stick had gone in. Having recently completed their first aid training they all knew not to try and pull the rough wooden shard out but get Sean to a medical centre for treatment. Sean put on a very brave face as the splinter was removed and he was given a tetanus shot (injection) to ensure the wound did not become infected. Sean’s foot will be tender to walk on for some time.

 
Here is Sean with his splinter

Padlet - Reflection 1

Inquiry Question

Today we looked at early Maori explorers and what they would have faced on their journey to New Zealand. We looked at how they would have navigated the ocean. In the article that we read as a class they mentioned a tool called the 'Tirito 'etu' or starpeeker. It looked like a coconut with holes in it in certain places. We wondered how they would use it. 
Homework tonight! See who can find out some details about this tool.
