Dryland water safety.

 On Thursday the 14th a guy named Caleb came into our classroom.  He was teaching us about how to be safe while in the water. And what are the important things to bring while you go down to the beach?

He was talking about the important things we would be needing if we wanted to go down to the beach. The first important one was sunblock, sun hat, togs, towel, snacks/food, water bottle and if you're on a boat you could use a life jacket too. But first, let's talk about why we need to bring these things and why it's so important?

First sunblock. you could get a very bad sunburn if you don't wear sunblock while your down at the beach. Next, you need a sunhat or just a hat it doesn't really matter. Because you may get sunburnt without having a hat on top of your head. Thirdly It is quite important to wear togs while you're down at the beach just because if you wear regular clothes the ocean might ruin them, but that's my opinion.
Fourthly, maybe if you're going down to the beach and collecting pipis or mussles you could at least bring some snacks if you're going to be down for a while.  Or you could just grab some snacks if you're going down with your whanau. Lastly, make sure to get some water so you don't get dehydrated because it's really important to have a fresh cool off.

Now moving onto the water safety. Caleb was teaching us what to do if we got stuck in a rip. The three important things to do while stuck in a rip is... Stay calm, lay on your back, and raise your hand up.
The reason why you need to do this is that if you don't stay calm then you'll lose more of your energy and that you will start to get tired and that's how others drown.

If you go on boat trips just make sure that you wear a lifejacket it's really important! Just because if the boat flips and you fall down you won't drown because you have a lifejacket on.

In conclusion, it was really fun to talk with Caleb and that now I know what to do when I get stuck in a rip. And that I always have to put on sunblock whenever it's hot outside and I want to cool off at the beach.

Pets day poster

Today in room 4 we had to make a poster for ag day. We had to pick our favourite animal and draw a picture of it and write some interesting facts about the animal that you've chosen. 

After that we had to add some coulour into it so it can be colourful and pretty. Then after that we had to write the facts in pencil then we had to write over it with pen so its easier to read.

                                                How to live a healthy life. 

To live a healthy life my first suggestion is to quit smoking, If you’re a smoker then that's a big problem here's all of the stuff that smoking can do to yourself and your body.

You're lungs can be very badly affected  by smoking. Coughs, colds, wheezing and asthma is just start. Smoking can cause fatal diseases such as pneumonia, emphysema and lung cancer. It probably seems that smoking makes yourself feel much better but all of the stuff here that i'm saying is serious and that you need to stop.

Now let's move onto the healthy eating, for a start off try eating vegetables and fruits a day like broccoli or carrots or apples. Try to base your meals on higher fibre starchy carbohydrates, and try eating less sugar because Eating too much sugar has been linked to an increased risk of conditions including diabetes and heart disease.

How to be fit and healthy! Exercise daily for at least an hour.

Eat the right foods and portion each meal, No matter how bad you're stomach is telling you to go for candy over healthy food, try to stay away from sweets.

So there you go that is all of the information for How to have a healthy life! By Puna-wai.

This is what we have been working in the past few weeks.
