What we do when others get hurt

This morning for PB4L we learnt about what we should do when others are hurt.

Number-1: Always tell the teacher on duty. Don't take them to the sick bay it is the teachers call.

Number-2: Don't crowd around the victim because they need air and if you surround them. Not enough air will come through for them to breathe.

Number-3: If the teacher needs help be a responsible helper. 

Number-4: Now that you have helped a little bit. The teacher will either say: Go have a little sit , Go have a drink of water or...Can you take him or her to the sick bay please.

Now take the victim to where the teacher told you to take them.

But if you just have a little cut there is no need to go to the office. The duty teacher will already have band aids. Just ask the teacher on duty for a band aid.

But what if the teacher had no band aids?

If all of the duty teachers have no band aids. The last teacher you will ask might send you to the office to get some band aids.

So there it is. When you see someone hurt just follow this.

Thank you for reading!

Hour of code.

 On Wednesday the 7th of December we did hour of code. We did it with our buddy class room 2.

Here is me and my buddy. We got to pick a coding game out of Mine craft , star wars and Moana. Me and my buddy Rosa from room 2 chose Moana. I have to admit it was pretty hard especially getting her attention but thats because she is only little. Also when we were coding i was getting tired of clicking the "move forward" buttons. It was hurting my hand.

What is coding?

coding is when you have to use like codes or buttons that say "forward , left , right". The most challenging part is the zig zag. You can get mixed up with all the forward , right , forward left. It was really challenging and hard. When I was doing the Moana one we had to cut the rope and protect our self from the kakamora.

What did I learn?

When I was with my buddy I learnt to get her attention and make sure that she understands what we were doing. In the coding challenge I learnt that you don't just need arrows to find your way somewhere. You can use specific directions like turn right then move/drive forward. Or you can say turn left move forward then turn right. My lesson for next time is to keep on track. What I mean is when I do zig zag I should know where I am at when I do left , forward right.

So my question for you guys is...

Have you ever had an hour of code?

Athletics: Shot put.

Shot put

As some of you may know we have been doing athletics this term. 

Today our coach taught us about shot put and some tips!

Shot put balls are very hard and if you throw one you could easily break your wrist.

Valerie Adams is New Zealand shot put star!

If you have held a shot put ball before did you realise how heavy it is?

Today we were using different shot put balls for our lesson and all I could say is that it would probably be 90% lighter then a normal shot put ball!

We learnt something called dirty neck , dirty fingers , clean palms!

What this means is that you should be holding the shot put ball with your fingers and putting it on your neck. Your palms should not be touching the shot put ball.

We also learnt that you should twist your arm so you could see your wrist and palm. 

You shouldn't throw the ball. Just rock then...PUSH!

As I said before if you throw an actual shot put ball you could break your hand.

So we have now come to the conclusion of this post remember these simple steps!

1.Dirty fingers

                                                                        2.Dirty neck

3.clean palm

4.Twist your hand so that you could see your palm

5.Don't throw the ball.

So if you are doing athletics maybe this can help you with shot put!

Athletics.

Learning how to sprint.

Today in the afternoon we learnt some skills for sprinting.

Cheek to cheek  and opposites.

These are two of the five that we learnt. Cheek to cheek is going from your top cheek to your bottom cheek like this..

opposite is just like the cheek to cheek. But your right leg is in front and left hand is in front. So it is opposite. Sometimes it is hard but it won't be hard if you practise.

Next up we learnt: Eyes on the prize not on the other guys. This means that you look straight. Like where you are running. If you look at your mates or opponents you have a 100 % chance of running crooked. So if you are running and you want to win 10.00 dollars. Don't look at your opponents.

The next step is high knees. High knees help you to have light feet. Lastly it helps you with running faster and better!

So Thank you for reading my blog post about sprinting. Next time when you run or do a athletic race remember these 4 skills. To help you run better and faster. Thanks

How to be healthy

                                                              How to be healthy.

This term we have been doing a little bit of learning about nutrition.

We have learnt a lot about keeping our body,brain and heart healthy.

Here are a few facts and tips on being healthy

fact.1: If you don't eat you are gaining weight.

fact.2:You can only go without water for 3 days and food for 3 weeks

Tip.1 Go for daily exercise.

Tip.2 Cleaning is excising.

Measure your palm and that should be how much food you eat (Not including junk)

But what should we eat? Some healthy lunch options are: A sandwich with veggies and some fruit's.

This lunch is a very healthy option.

Tip: You can have at least one or two small packets of chips.

Try not to eat pies for lunch. Instead you can replace it with a kebab.

If you have no breakfast (which you should have) ,lunch or something unhealthy. Your metabolism won't produce enough fuel. Your metabolism gives you energy to move around and play or to learn.

So make sure you eat enough and drink enough.

For example cars have gas to keep them running.

If you think juice is healthy. Maybe you should listen to this.

Juice has it's own sugar. You are better off having water or home made juice with out sugar or even home made lemonade with a little bit of sugar. In diet drinks they have a sugar called aspartame. 

Did you know that I watched something called the big ward. On the show it is about people losing weight. This lady wanted to lose weight. All she had to drink was cranberry juice. The doctor told her: "That does not help you lose weight". The lady couldn't believe it. All this time she wasn't losing weight she was putting on weight.

So make sure you keep your body very healthy.

 Being healthy can actually make you live longer. Once when we went to speeches this girl  had a speech about: Why we shouldn't eat vegetables. But eating vegetables is good. So remember to eat 5 plus a day,exercise and drink 8 cups of water.

Also you can have some treats like a small chocolate bar or some lollies.

Cross counry

Cross country

This is a photo of me running in cross country.

I came in fifth place out of the year six girls.

I thought I ran pretty well but I ran to fast at the beginning.

I was so glad cross country was over to be very honest.

It was cold before we started but when we started running it was so HOT!

My favourite part was running through the big inflatable balloon .

Thank you Mrs Petrus for a great morning

Ear health.

Today Tuesday the 2nd of August.Some students from Lynfield college came to teach us about ears and how to keep our ears clean,healthy and safe from damage.

Are you a person that listens to really loud music?

Because if you are you have this post to help you stop!

Ears are important for humans because we all love music and we all love watching television.

But unfortunately people are beginning to lose there hearing.

Why is that?,You may ask.Because people are listening to music or things that are over 85 decibels

This is a photo of the hears in your ears.The one one the left hand side is a perfectly good hear.But on the right hand side that is a badly damaged hear in your ear.

Can my hear damage get fixed?,you may ask.Well the answer is no.

Here is a experiment that you can do.

                                                              what you'll need:
                                                             Pipe cleaners

Start off by brushing through your pipe cleaners. But do a nice slow gental one because its acting like it is below 85 decibels.Then after that brush through it so hard. When you brush through it so hard its like over 85 decibels. Which acts like your music is super loud.

After that you try to fix the pipe cleaner. Ahh do you get it now? The pipe cleaners acts like ear hears.When you try fix it.The pipe cleaner can not be fixed.

It is very easy to lose your hearing in your ear.Your ears can help you with learning and watching videos.

The next time I would like to learn about your vision.

                                          This really convinces me to look after my ears

Here is some advice on how to look after our ears.

1.Wear earplugs when you are at a concert or singing lesson.

2.When using the lawnmower.Put some ear muffs on.

Turn it down, walk away and Protect your EARS!
