Life Education Caravan

Life Education

At Life Education we learnt about Alcohol and Drugs. Lynn was telling us about alcohol and what it can do to your brain and body. Drugs and alcohol can create brain damage and affect short term memories.

She was telling us that we shouldn't take alcohol from strangers on the streets. She was telling us that we shouldn't be drinking alcohol even if we see our friends drink it, When we see our friend’s drink alcohol we shouldn't be drinking it just because we want to be cool and be like them so they can like you.

Lynn told us that if we take alcohol and drugs we might be addicted to it and drink heaps. When we drink alcohol, the alcohol might stay in our blood stream. When the alcohol goes down to your liver, then it goes down it will break down. Then you will feel like you only want to take one standard drink per hour, than when the alcohol goes up to your brain. If it goes up to your brain too much alcohol might damage your brain and you might DIE.

At the life caravan we learnt about what happens if you take alcohol and drugs. You can have a: Concussion, permanent brain damage, DEATH, anger, fight’s, They will act emotional, they will have double vision, slower response, memory loss and overdose. We all watched a short video clip about other people that had problems when they were young because they took drugs and alcohol and they had a really hard life when they were tennagers.

When we were at the Life Caravan we were learning about what kind of drugs, alcohol and kind of plants. She was telling us that we shouldn't drink or eat stuff like: Marijuana, Cocaine, Party Pills, Smoking and Weed.

At the Life caravan I Learnt heaps of stuff about alcohol. I learnt that we should never take drugs when we see our friends have some we shouldn't follow them just because you want to be cool.

Lest We Forget

On Monday the 4th of August the whole school had to go to the hall. We had to go there because it was the 100th year when the NZ army went to war. Today we had to sit in silence while we raised the flag.

At assembly Mr Burt was talking about what the NZ army did for us to save us. Mr Burt told us that his great grandpa and Mrs Flavelle’s great grandpa went to World War 1.

It was a really sad for us to watch it because heep’s of people died in the army. We all have to celebrate so we can remember the why they did that for us.

Term 3 Immersion Assembly

On Monday It was back to school day when we come back from school holidays then when we always have a Immersion assembly when we come back so we can know what our topic for this term. Our topic is all about the Commonwealth Games and the main big name is “GAME ON!”.

Team 1 were the first team to perform. First they played a movie and then they got up on the stage. The teachers were wearing things from the country that they come from. Mrs Lal was wearing a Fijian T-shirt, Mrs Wild was wearing the New Zealand flag as a cap Miss Rapold, Ms Dwyer and Ms George. They were talking about other countries that will compete against other nations.

Team 2 they did a movie first then when the movie when the movie finished they ran to the front of the stage and put the trophy up and then they had to touch it like they were in a team and they won. One of the teachers came before to this school and then came back her name was Mrs. Mackinley.

Team 3 they did a movie about gymnastics people. In the movie was girls being flexible and then when they went on the stage all of them were all dressed up in toto’s and the teachers they had Ribbons and hula hoops. They try to do what they were doing.

Team 4 invented a new activity to be in the commonwealth games, it was mash potato sculpting the teachers pretended to be other country’s: Mrs.Lavukula was India, Mr. Goodwin was Jamica, Mrs. Garden was Cook Islands and Mrs. Ouano was and Mr.Summerville was South Africa Mrs. Jacobson was the Referee. Mr summerville got out straight away cause his sportsmanship was really bad.

Tema 5 we showed a Movie about where the team 5 teachers went in the holidays Mrs. Nua went to Spain, Mrs. Squires went to Peru, Mrs. Clark went to New York and saw Kim Kardashian, Mrs Paget went to Atlanta U.S.A.

It was really exciting for me to come back to school.
