Healthy eating.

Everybody knows that we need to eat to stay a live but there is another reason which is to have nutrition's. Your body needs nutrients to stay healthy and to keep safe from disease.

Everybody knows that we should have five portions of fruit and veggies a day to stay strong and healthy. If we always eat junk food and not some fruit and veggies you will get very sick.

If we don’t have a variety of food like veggies, fruit, meat, wheat, and a little bit of lollies, we will get sick easily. All these foods give us lots of nutrients. If you eat too much of the same food, you will get really sleepy. But you could get better by eating some fruits, veggies and a little bit of wheat and meat. They will get you better.

If you eat healthy everyday you well really healthy and your bones will be nice and strong. Why not try and eat healthy food every day.

Riding a bike

People normally use their bikes for transportation to get to the place they need to. Others use their bikes for fun.

A bike is a form of transportation. It allows people to get from place to place. It has two wheels, handlebars, breaks, a seat, a chain, lights, a bell and a frame. All these things work together to make your bike move. You use your feet to push the pedals. It makes the wheels move.

You sit on the seat for comfort and use your hands to steer the bike with the handlebars.

You should always make sure your bike isn't broken. If parts of your bike are broken you could get into an accident and injure yourself.

When you're riding a bike you should always have your safety gear on. Things like a helmet, and shoes can keep you safe in an accident. Bright clothes makes it easier for others around you to see you when you are riding on the road. In Summer when it’s hot, you should put on a hat and some sunblock to keep you safe from the sun.

When riding a bike you really need to balance the bike. If you don’t balance your bike, you will fall off and injure yourself. The secret to keep your bike balanced is to keep on practising until you get it right.

I really enjoy riding my bike and I know you will enjoy riding a bike too. Now that you know why a bike is a versatile object, why would you not get one?

The Epic Race

It was a bright sunny day when Flash, Bat girl and Super girl all came together on a tall tall tower. Bat girl had blue eyes and white hair. The Flash had blue eyes and brown hair. Super girl had ginger hair and had brown eyes. The two girls and one boy all went up the tower to have an epic race around the world and back.
3, 2, 1 and go! The super heros all ran as fast as they could to Paris then to Mexico, then they went to a desert. The Flash could see someone in need so he ran to save him. But he got lost in a crowd of people. Meanwhile Super girl and Bat girl didn’t know about this. When they got to the finish line, they didn’t see the flash.

So after that they went to find the Flash. One hour later the two girls found the Flash and you can guess. What they said you lost Flash and we won.

Poi Making

This term we have been making Poi’s and getting our Poi dance ready for next term week eight. This is a step by step explanation on how to make a Poi.

The first thing you need to do is to get the materials. Which are a plastic bag, some tape, some string, some thick wool stuffing and a pair of scissors.

Second, you need to plait your wool. Tie three pieces of wool together using a string. Then plait the wool and tie it at the end with the string.

Next you need to get your stuffing and tie the wool plait around it with a double knot. Get the plastic bag and put it around your stuffing. Tighten the plastic bag around the stuffing and put some tape on it to keep it closed. After that you need to put a different layer on the Poi to make it tight then put tape on it and cut all the spare pieces.

Now you have a Poi for your Poi dance.

Tabloid Sports

Every year on St Joseph's day our school has tabloid sports. There are four sport houses at school. Their names are Blake, Hillary Cowley and Shepherd and I belong to Shepherd. The houses captains were in charge of the games. Each house chose a game to play. Each house would also get split into two groups.This year there was the card game, water games and a mug game.
The card game was really fun because everyone would go to a chair and each chair had a card print like the hearts, diamonds, clubs and spades. The rules of the this were that you would go to a chair and the person that was leading it would take a card out from the middle of the cards and say what was picked from the cards. All the people that were in that group would get out of the game until the next round. They would go on until there was only one person left. I really enjoyed the game even though I wasn't the one who won.

There were two different water games and we used water guns for both games. The first game was a freezing game. The player would stay still and someone else would move your hands or put a water gun in your hands. When the person who was in charge of the game was not looking, you tagged them. They had to freeze and give you the water gun. You could only shoot the person who was leading the game because they had togs on. If you moved and the person with the water gun saw it, you would be out for the rest of the game. In the second game there would be a gun for each group and two buckets. Each group would fill the gun with water from one bucket and they would start to shoot water in the empty bucket. At the end the bucket with the most water in it won and we could tip the water on the heads of people that was running the games.

In another game the person that was running the mug game split us into two groups and gave each group a mug. You needed to first put water into the mug and go all the way to the other bucket on the other side then come back to the bucket with the water in, so that the next person could go. At the end the group that had the bucket with the most water in won and got to tip all the water on the person’s head.

At the end when we were done we all had a sausage sizzle. I really enjoyed the tabloid sports.
