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.

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.
