Hi everyone I hope your having a good day and enjoy reading about what my class and I have been learning about in our health class with Whaea Raywen, Most teenagers eat really unhealthy food like candy, chips, salty foods and energy drinks when at our age we should be focusing more on eating things like all your greens if you eat meat or what how ever you get your iron and lots of water and making sure you have plenty of dairy each day. Sleeping is very important because we need it for our growing brain once your going through your teenage years that when you do your most growing so need a good night sleep and that means 10 hours or more of sleep and try not go on technology any about an hour before your about to go to sleep. When we were watching our video two points that i really liked were that the more active you are the bigger your heart gets and grows because it needs to pump more blood around the body. And the second one is that you need at least 150 mins of exercise and active each week and every 10 mins count.
I am a Year 8 student in the Uru Mānuka Cluster. This is a place where I will share my learning. Please note that some of it will not be complete, it will be my first drafts. Remember to be positive, thoughtful and helpful when you leave a comment.
