Benefits of Physical Activity!

Benefits of "Physical Activity!"

Physical Activity is also known as Fitness or Exercise. And like everything else, you get benefits
out of being a regular exerciser. This means exercising on the daily, and committing to keeping
yourself healthy. Like I said before, benefits come out of it. Such as, getting fit, improving your body
image and you are able to do a lot more things than the average person can. Here are some benefits
that you can get out of becoming a regular exerciser!

#1. It Strengthens the Heart! - First of all, you may not know, but your heart is also a muscle.
Like any other muscles, exercise can strengthen them as a result in making you stronger and stronger.
This means that when you exercise, you’re muscles may get bigger and stronger each day.
Since the heart is also a muscle, fitness improves the hearts beating speed and keeps it strong and
healthy. Having a weak heart can lead, “Ischemic Cardiomyopathy” which occurs when your heart
becomes too weak to pump enough blood to the rest of your body due to coronary artery disease.
The blood vessels attached to the heart muscle narrow and eventually become blocked. Approximately
90% of people that are diagnosed with, “Ischemic Cardiomyopathy” aren’t able to live past a year.

#2. Reduces Risks of Deadly Diseases! - Fitness does a huge part when it comes to illnesses
and keeping your body healthy. On the inside! I say on the inside because some people think that it
only improves your body image, and how you look on the outside. But, no. It affects majorly on the
inside of your body. This means that some exercise could do damage but most exercise helps you
when you are sick or when you have failing body parts. Scientists haven’t found exactly what exercise
is needed but try anything and see if it works. Exercise helps to reduce the risk of developing heart
disease, cancer, stroke and diabetes.  

#3. Gives you a Longer n Happier Life! - Scientists believe that fitness has a big positive impact
on depression, anxiety and ADHD. It also boosts overall mood. The average person, is happy less
than 50% of the time, compared to exercisers which are happy most of their lifetime due to the kind of
different body-movements they may do during their lifetime.  Research on depression, anxiety and
exercise shows that the psychological and physical benefits of exercise can also help improve mood
and sleep as well as reduces stress and anxiety. Regular physical activity also lowers blood pressure,
burns body fat, and lowers blood sugar levels, all of which benefit heart health. The power of exercise
to help the heart cannot be understated. Regular exercisers have been proven to live at least 4 years
more than the normal age rate.

So, overall exercise is amazingly good for you! It helps you not only on the outside but on the inside
as well. Majorly! At first, I didn’t know so many good benefits that could come out of exercising until I
did a bit of research and, BOOM! Its amazing how the Internet can help you these days. Yeah, but
anyways, exercising is a major thing in everyone's lives and like I said before, keeping fit and healthy
leads to happiness. It also gives you options to be stuck on the couch or day playing fortnite these
days and stuffing your face, but you also have to option to get up, go for a walk/jog/run and have a
bit of exercise as well as enjoy your day! There are also gyms that are useful when you can’t workout
outside because of bad weather. So, today is your day! Your day to get off that couch and get up and
benefit not only you, but the people surrounding you. I was told that, “If you believe, then you can
achieve!” If you believe in yourself, than you can do anything you put your mind to. Today is YOUR day! All you have to do is...BELIEVE!

My Journey throughout Polyfest's Technical Workshops

Hey there bloggers!!! On the 16th of March 2017, I had an astonishing journey throughout the 2017 Polyfest's Technical Workshops. Now, let me tell you all about it. 

First of all, What is Polyfest? you may be asking. Well, the ASB Polyfest is an iconic Auckland festival which features traditional music, dance, costume and speech from secondary school students. It is a very important showcase of New Zealand's breath-taking cultures and a celebration of youth performances. 

There were so many different types of workshops/stations/activities. For Example: There was one workshop, where you had to put on these 3D Google Glasses. Once you put them on and someone had started them up, it felt like you were in a virtual world. After about, 1 - 2mins of the first scene, the background and topic would change. Like, if you were in a medical room, it could change to a classroom or a beach. It could literally change to anything. Then, there were so many other workshops. There was another one where we had to ride on of those bicycles that power energy. I rode it for about 2mins and then I got a free Mango Supreme Smoothie at the end. The smoothie was delicious. I enjoyed all of the workshops that I got to try. I went to a lot. My group and I tried to go to all of them. Sadly, we missed out on a few. 

But, my favourite part of the day was watching the dancers compete at a workshop called, Te Wananga O Aotearoa. It was so hilarious. It was the most funniest part of my day. Later on in the day, I even got to have a go and competing the the dance competition. The DJ played remixes of songs and we had to dance to it. The person that had the best dance moves got the top prize. Which was either sunglasses, a fan or a smoothie. The second prize went to the person, that made the most people laugh. That was me. I got to pick out of a smoothie, a pair of sunglasses or a fan. I picked a pair of sunglasses, cause I already had a smoothie and a fan. 

After all of that, I learnt that, if you correctly hook something up to a bicycle a ride it for a while, quite fast, you can power energy. That was very interesting. I never knew that would happen. For our activity, we powered a smoothie blender. 

I enjoyed the entire day with my friends and my group. I loved it. It was one of the most amazing trips I have been on before. Hopefully, next year i get to go once again. A huge thanks to all of the parents and helpers that came along and enjoyed the day with us. We couldn't have gone without yous. Can't wait for next year.  

Staining Experiment

This week we have been given a task to create an experiment using stains. We created a Turmeric stain on a white piece of fabric and used different methods to see, which household cleaner does the best job of removing turmeric stains from fabric? We tried, Dish washing Liquid, Laundry Powder and also Fabric Stain Remover Gel. We applied the detergents to the stains and then left them to dry out for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes was up, we went outside and rinsed the stained fabric with cold water. Then, we figured out which household cleaner did the best job?? The Fabric Stain Remover Gel did the best job of removing the turmeric stain from the fabric.    

BEHIND THE DOOR - Narrative

BEHIND THE DOOR

It was a sunny day in a suburb which was named Pt England. People were playing outside and kids were at school. Except for this one little boy, Jack. Jack absolutely hated school. So, he never went. Jack just stayed home and some days he would also like to ride his bike around the neighbourhood.

But, one day, a tourist named, Amy arrived in Pt England. So, Jack went up to her and welcomed Amy to Pt England. “What has brought you to this lovely suburb may I ask?” Jack said to Amy. “Well, I’m from Tonga and I have been to a lot of different countries. Like, Samoa, Fiji, Solomon Islands, Niue and much more. I’m a tourist.” Amy replied. “I actually have a friend sitting my house while our was on vacation. I’m going there now.” She said. “Ok! Well goodbye for now and I’ll hopefully see you around the neighbourhood.” Jack replied.

Amy just realised something, “Jack? Why aren’t you at school? Are you sick or something?” Jack said, “No. I just really hate school. So, I stay home with my mum.” “Oh ok. Bye!” Amy yelled to Jack while she was walking to her house. Which was just down the street.

The Next Day

Amy decides to go for a walk down the street and notices that Jack is just around the corner. So, she walks up to him and says, “Hiya, Jack! Isn’t it a beautiful, sunny day.” Jack replies, “Yeah! It sure is.” “Hey Amy? Would you like to go for a walk around the neighbourhood with me?” “Sure! I was walking around by myself and a little company would be awesome.” So, Jack and Amy wonder around and they come to a house that has signs up all around it.

Signs say, DANGER! BEWARE OF THE HAUNTED HOUSE! GHOSTS AND CLOWNS! TURN BACK! DON’T GO IN! OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES! But, Amy is determined to see what is really behind the door of this mysterious abandoned house.

Furthermore, Amy enters the house and Jack is too scared to go in because of what the signs say. Jack tries to convince Amy not to go in, “Amy don’t go in! You’re going to get hurt! But, she just doesn’t listen. She goes in and realises that the door slammed shut. She starts screaming and shouting. She shouts to Jack, “Jack!! Get HELP! PLEASE?! QUICK!! Call the police or something! Just get some help!!

Jack notices that Amy has left her phone outside on the grass. He picks it up and calls the police. The police come as fast as they can and try to rescue Amy out of the Haunted Mysterious House. About 30mins later, the house just opens the door and Amy comes sprinting out. She trips and one of the police officer's dash to her and save Amy from falling into a pit of doom.

Amy gets rescued and she swears never to go into or near that Haunted Mysterious House ever again. After that, Jack and Amy take another stroll in the park and forget that nothing ever happened. They both just live their normal lives.

Duffy Assembly

Duffy Assembly

Guess What? At 2pm (straight after lunch) the Yr 5 - Yr 8 students went to the school hall to watch a Duffy assembly. 3 people were starring in it and their names were, Tevita, Simon and Talia. Talia played Ruby, which was duffy’s neighbour. Simon played Duffy and Tevita played all of the other parts. For Example: Tevita played, Mum, Dad, Musician and even a baby. This time their show was called Duffy’s Time Travel Mission. By the sound of the title it sounded like it was going to be a pretty choice show to watch.

Writing Sample Practice and Rubric

On Monday the 7th of September we had our annual school cross country. It was a nice sunny day to do it. We had our cross country after Lunch at 1pm.  

My House Colour was Green. There were other colours too. They were, Blue, Red and Yellow. When we were waiting I felt a bit nervous because I thinking about what place I would come in. We had to hop into Boys and Girls lines from Year 1 - Year 8. Once everyone was in their Year Lines then Ms Vaafusuaga talked to us about the rules. It took forever. Moreover, when she had finished talking then the Yr 1 Boys went up to Race first. I was cheering for my brother. When the clamps went ‘CLAP’ the Yr 1 boys ran as fast as they could. My brother was in the lead. At the end I was very surprised about who had came first. Guess Who Did? MY BROTHER. YAY!!!.

As soon as the Yr 1 Boys were finished Classes 6,7,8,9 and 10 moved over by the field to check out the races. While I was waiting for our turn to race I sat down and watched the other people in the school run. It was amazing. After about 30mins, It was the Yr 5 girls turn. Which means it was my time to run. I was feeling very very nervous. Mrs Nua took us up to the starting line. After That, we and got to the starting line and I looked around me nervously. I saw my friends on the other side of me and they were looking like they were ready to race. When I heard Mr Burt go ‘CLAP’ with the clamps I run my fastest I was coming about 10th at first but then I was coming above 10th. I stopped for a bit then I ran again. I was feeling excited when I ran because I was relieved that I wasn’t coming last. Once I got onto the reserve I stopped for about 5min to catch my breathe then I ran as fast as a lion. I was really getting tired but I knew that if I had stopped then I might have came over 20th. So I carried on.

About 10 mins later I reached the finish line. Heaps of people were cheering for everyone especially Ms Vaafusuaga and Mr Burt. I felt really amazed when I pasted the finish line but I was also very tired. I went for a drink of water then sat down to watch the other races.

Furthermore, when all the races were done I went to class and packed for the next day. I wonder how I will feel next year we do cross country. I might feel heaps of different emotions. Let’s just wait and see next year. It was an amazing day for the whole school. I hope that I come in the Top 5 next year.

Short Creative Stories

Instructions: Make up a funny story about a polite magician who makes friends with an elf

I am making a funny story about a polite magician that makes friends with an elf. I will now start to write about it. Why don’t you come and help me write.

Once upon a time there was a polite magician. He was playing with his magic powers in the forest of doom. But the trick was that the polite magician didn't know that he was in the forest of doom. Once the polite magician reached the far end of the forest he realised that he had got lost. So then he started to call HELP, HELP. I am stuck in the forest of doom. Please someone help me. The forest of doom looked very scary. It had a lot of trees, animals and it was so dangerous and scary that no humans dared to enter it.

Luckily, a very kind, smart, short elf heard him screaming help, help. Guess what? The elf knew the forest like the back of his hands. So then the elf showed the magician the way out of the forest of doom. After that, the magician said “Thank you kind little elf. If it wasn't for you I would have been dead by now. Thank you so much for saving me. I really appreciate it. How could I ever repay you?” The elf said, “Well, since you asked. I don’t have any friends. Could you please be my friend?” Then the magician said, “Sure. Why Not. You did save my life.”

Then the elf and the magician came friends and they played all day until it got dark. They both lived happily ever after. THE END.  

We have been learning how to write short, creative stories and how to add juicy language. Hope you enjoyed reading. Bye.
