Sleep and exercise for teenagers

Today we have been learning about sleep and exercise. We watched a video about this topic. We had to answer three different questions about the topic and the video. Here they are and my answers to them.

The first question is "Healthy food for teenagers" And we have already done this topic before. We made a eating plan for this. Here is the link.

The Next one is "Sleep - How much? Why?" The recommended amount of sleep for teenagers is 8 - 10 hours because it's good for your body and it helps you recharge and get ready for the next day.

The last question is some facts that we got from the video. Doing more physical activitys helps lower the risk of heart disease and circulatory disease by 35%. Once your blood has picked up oxygen it move to the muscles you are using.

HHS 2021

Today we are doing blog posts about any positive thing that has happened to us this year at school. Inside or outside the classroom. Also some recommendations.

One positive thing I did was making some food in cooking. Because some of the food we made I hadn't had before.

Another is probably doing PE because we got to learn some different sports that some people probably didn't know the rules to. I didn't know somethings about the sports we did.

Next is doing science because I got to do a lot of fun things. Like making Hokey Pokey and lighting our hands on fire. We also learned about some cool things.

If you are coming to hornby high next year then there is a lot of people that you can get help from if your lost. So don't be affraid to go up and ask someone for directions. You can make friends really easily.

What I did in the holidays.

 In hurumanu we did some wrting about what we did in the holidays. We did this off of the word SPILES. Here is what the words mean and what I did in the holidays.

S: Social, P: Physical, I: Intellectual, L: Likes, E: Emotional.

During the holidays I went to Kaikoura for 4 days and had a day break before I went to the West Coast for 6 days and ended up having 2 days to rest before going back to school.

While I was in Kaikoura I walked around with my mother and sister. But while I was at the coast I walked down the beach and walked down the road to the dairy to get their really nice boneless chicken. At some point I did my first volleyball practice with some friends.

I played a strategy game with my friends and I also did some reading. I also watched some youtube videos on something that I wanted to learn or do.

I liked eating the boneless chicken because they tasted really good and if I could I would have them again. I was excited to see the other people in the volleyball team because then I know who they are and what they know.

I felt really tired after being away for most of the holidays.
