Why we need to eat healthy

Healthy eating is important to help us have a balanced diet.

We need to eat healthy so we can keep going throughout the day. Food gives us energy so that we can do stuff like school.

Not all the nutrients and other substances in our day to day foods contribute to good health. So eating a wide assortment of foods helps ensure that you get all of the disease-fighting potential that foods offer.

Carbohydrates are stuff like bread,rice and potatoes these foods give us a lot of energy

Fruit and vegetables gives us vitamins and minerals to stay healthy you should eat at least 5 fruit and vegetables a day.

Dairy foods like milk and cheese gives us protein and calcium to make our bones strong

Oil and spreads we need some of these each week not all week but once or twice week.

The average human should have 8 cups of water a day and at least 1 hour of fitness a day.

Making a Poi

Over the last couple of weeks we have been learning a poi dance for the school production, a sort of play. The song we are doing poi to is ‘Poi E’ the boys did not get to make the pois but this is the poi I got made for me.

This is how you make a poi

You need…..

White red and black string
Cotton
A plastic bag
Sellotape
scissors

1. You need to brade the White red and black string ( leav about 5 cm of string left
2. Get a ball of cotton and wrap around the cotton ball and tie
3.Wrap the bag around the poi
4. Sellotape The bit were the bag meets string
5. Cut of lose plastic of

And now you have a poi that should look somewhat like the one photographed above.

R.E poster

This is a photo of the R.E poster ( Fire is a symbol of the Holy Spirit ) we have done in the past week. I did it with a classmate named Victor.

On the poster we drew the burning bush, disciples at Pentecost and a candle to show fire is one of the symbols of the Holy Spirit.

Easter

This Easter I woke up extra early to get the head start for Easter eggs but dad was up before me and stopped me in my tracks, “You need to wait for your sister.” he said. One hour later she was up. “3 2 1, go” shouted dad and the race was on. All together we found 21 eggs. We even found a bunny. Here is the picture.
It was cute but yummy. We got 5 marshmallow eggs each and 1 big egg each. My baby brother even found an egg by opening cupboards ( he is one year old). It was the best Easter ever. 

Life Jacket / Life Saving

The past couple of weeks we have been learning about how to keep safe in the water with life jackets. We have also learned different types of positions like the H.E.L.P

Position (H.E.L.P stands for heat, energy, lessening and position). We also learned the group huddle and the survival chain. It was lots of fun but very very very cold.

Thanks for taking your time to read this. :D

Floating Citadel

It was the moment they had been dreading. Chains had bound their citadel; link after link of brutal, cold steel.

As they poked their heads out of their windows, they drank in the view through eyes squinted against the icy, punishing wind. The world they knew appeared as insignificant specks, hundreds of metres below.

They had been banished. It was time to find a new home.

“TOM” shouted Jack, “They've got us.” “Wow!” shouted Tom who was unfortunately on the toilet at the time he came out with his bare bottom winking in the sun it was the moment they had both been dreading. “ They look like shells” “0r balls” sait Jack & Tom togher: ‘

What do we do?” “We’re already 3 miles up!” said a voice behind them. The boys turned around, “Granny!” shouted the boys flung in to her arms. “Hello, kids!” said granny. I took a picture.
