This week Monday LS1 went to a performance from Duffy and his crew. We had got to meet them. They told us some rules and we listened. If we were very loud they will put their fingers at their mouths and say "Shh!". The performance started, we all watched in curiosity of what was going to happen next. The theme of the act was bullying. Duffy's friend Ashleigh has been bullying Melanie. Ashleigh always be mean to Melanie and steals her lunch, but Duffy doesn't know about it. Ashleigh kept on bullying Melanie until Duffy found out. Duffy used 4 things to see if Ashleigh was the Cloakroom bully. When it was lunch time Ashleigh came to play soccer with Duffy but Melanie was with him. Ashleigh was like "Get lost Melanie does it look like we wanna be your friend" when she saw her. Then Duffy stood up for Melanie and told Ashleigh to stop bullying her because it will hurt her feelings. Then Duffy said he isn't coming to soccer training. Then Ashleigh said she was gonna tell coach on him , this is what he said " You tell coach and I will tell him why". Then Ashleigh stopped bullying Melanie from a book that Duffy gave to Melanie called The Halloween bully. It was about a skeleton named Wyatt and a Ghost. The ghost kept on taking Wyatt's lunch and bully's her by saying mean things about how she it skinny and Boney. Then The ghost found that she was making Wyatt sad so she said sorry for the things she said and also because she was very mean to everyone they didn't want to go to the disco party with her. Then the ghost and Wyatt became friends and went to the disco party together. Melanie gave the book to Ashleigh and then she found that she was the like the ghost and Melanie was Wyatt so by her inspiration from the book she apoligized and Ashleigh, Duffy, and Melanie became best friends because ashleigh was acting kind to melanie and invited her to play soccer.

We had to do a quiz with our inquiry group this is all the information. This term LS1 got ready for the big quiz at the end of the term. We did all these tasks and earnt all these credits in our groups. We had to get the credits by doing tasks based on what organ system we are doing. The topic was about organ systems in our bodies. We first learnt the nervous system. The nervous system is a system that makes up of different organs and parts. They are the nerves, neurons, Central nervous system, Peripheral Nervous system, brain, brainstem, spinal cord, autonomic and somatic. The Central nervous system and the Peripheral Nervous system have different parts. Another way to say them is CNS and PNS. CNS include the brain, brainstem, and spinal cord. The peripheral includes the nerves autonomic and somatic. After the nervous system was the digestive. This was my favourite part. This includes the Mouth, esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, small intestine, large intestine, appendix, rectum, and the anus. It includes what you eat. This system helps you gain nutrients. These all make up the Digestive system.  The respiratory system includes the lungs, Trachea, Bronchi, Bronchioles, Alveoli. This is the system that helps your body and body organs have oxygen. Then the Circulatory system the heart pumps blood through blood vessels arteries. Heart is the only organ in circulatory system. Arteries take blood away from heart,veins bring blood to the heart.capillaries are  very tiny after arteries they go everywhere in body thats where muscles get oxygen and nutrients organs pass carbon dioxide through capillaries. There are 4 main vessel of the heart they are,SVC (Superior vena cava), Pulmonary Artery,Pulmonary vein & Aorta. Main artery coming out heart is the aorta.

ASB Getwise Session

LI: To learn how to save money.

Jayden from ASB get wise came to our school to teach us about saving money. He came to talk to us about CASH goals. He taught that if you want to buy something make it realistic for you age. For example, if you want to by a car when your yr 4-5 you should keep it realistic so by something you can actually get. We learnt that if you want to by something you have to be clear, if you want to buy some shoes you need to keep it clear, what size, what colour, the price, and more. Keeping it clear is like making sure you get what you really want. To do that you have to take action. Get a job for yr 4-5. You could sell stuff like your old clothes or stuff you don't own like making pies, food and selling more, you could also do neighbourhood jobs like help cleaning the gardens.   When you get the money you need you save for the future to get more money by taking action. When you save you have to know how long it will take until you reach your goal to buy those shoes. So if you get 10 a week and you spend no money and your shoes are 100 dollars it will be 10 weeks until you have reached your goal. That is CASH goals.
