Term 4

Every term an immersion assembly is held just at the start. We have been doing this since I think this school was made. We also did this to show what our topic is. Our topic is ART ATTACK. When we went to assembly I saw art playing on the projector. It was amazing people were doing art on the computer it looks realistic.

The items started to explain what our topic was going to be about. It was team 1’s turn to explain what they are doing. I can't remember most of it but they did say they would be going down a river, I think having a picnic thats all that I could remember.

I could’nt remember any of them except team 5 theres was the best they started to paint upside down no one knew what was. What but I started to see someones face upside down. There were three paintings as soon as the flipped it they had painted Mr Jacobson,Mrs Jarman and Mr Burt.

That was the best immersion assembly if I could remember the rest I would tell you.

My Modified Version Of Paintball And CTF

2014 Cross Country

Do you know what is on the 11th of september? The 2014 cross country!

“Year 8 boys” said Mr Jacobson. That was our queue. Going to the start line just waiting for Mr Burt to slam his blocks together.

As soon as he slammed the blocks I decided to jog. Because I think if you sprint at the start you will waste all your energy. When I got to a muddy patch I ran through but as I ran mud was flicking in my face that was a bad distraction.

My mate (Logan) and I thought that if we stayed together we would make to the end. As I was running I was huffing and puffing and I said to my mate “I can’t do this” but he said I can do this. As I got to my second lap I felt a burst of energy to run the whole way

Eventually my mate and I came 7th equal.

We stopped and we were told that we could go and get a drink of water. So there I went and I got a cup of water and poured it on my face.

I never ever thought I will come in a place like that, hope to try next year at college!

Argeuments Againest fitness

I believe kids should exercise every day because in       

our country we don't want to raise a population of overweight people. Also exercise can help children to play a lot of sports and maybe make it into some sports teams.

Children need to be fit for anything that gets in their way. We are also trying to stop people sitting on the couch all day. Our school are focusing on becoming good athletes.

Fitness is my main priority. That is why I agree that our kids have to be smart, fit and healthy. That does  also include adults. If that doesn't happen, our country could be filled with overweight kids and adults. I also think that fitter kids are smarter kids.

Our school does running every day. The Year 8’s & 7’s  run to the Pt England reserve and back twice. We are training for our school country. So if we're healthy and if we are fit, our nation will be stronger and healthier.

Taking care of my body

Why do we have a body? To move and do things! That is why it is so important you must look after your body. The main thing is trying not to injure your body that is why you must take good care. If you're riding a skateboard you will need protection for your body like knee pads elbow pads and a helmet. Try to avoid dangerous stuff, because it may kill you or injure you.

If you take drugs or alcohol thats the main problem if smoke,inhale and inject these stuff can affect your brain and it changes what your brain does and other stuff it can slow down your transmitters(the messages that the brain sends to the rest of the body to move and other things). It can slow the down so it would take a long time and your body can be damaged.

alcohol is something that can kill if you drink at less 5 bottles that may give you some loss of memory. Maybe 8 that will probably make you have anger issues or get into fights. 10 you will probably become clumsy starteld if you were to drink a whole bottle of vodka thats dangerous you will become unconscious what are the chances of you surviving your death.

One teenager died he drank one whole bottle of vodka and his mates decided to give him more because of the way he was acting,they thought he was funny. Then his mates found him unconscious they thought he was ok but the next morning his mates went to go check on him and he was dead.He was a good athlete he went to kings college his name was james only if it wasn't for that one night.

There are lots of things that can kill you injure or do whatever to thats why it is good that your body is protected.

Drugs

For the past few weeks we have been going to the life education bus what we learned about was drugs. We had to be mature if you want to learn. The first drug we learned about was cannabis known as marijuana (weed, tinny, pot) and it was about people who were addicted to it and people who lost their reputation now they are on track.

There were a few more drugs like cocaine (crack) meth and lots more including pills that can kill you. There is stuff that you can inhale like nos (nitrous gas) most drugs affect the brain. It slows down your neurotransmitters in the brain. But some can speed it up faster and faster until the next day you're as lazy as a slug. That can affect you because then you might be addicted so then you have to keep taking that drug. It would probably be the only way to boost your neurotransmitters.

Alcohol can kill only if you drink too much. A tragedy happened when a boy called James died by drinking one whole bottle of vodka. His mates thought that he was sleeping but the next morning he was found unconscious and dead. He was a good athlete and competed in many sports, if it wasn't for that one night.
