Uncle Steve

On Saturday night, I went to Uncle Steve's house for the night. When we got there, Karl and I asked Uncle Steve for the Action Men. He got the Action Men and the vehicles out for us. While Karl and I were playing, the adults were talking.

For dinner we had burgers. In my first one, I had BBQ and Tomato Sauce. I then put on my pattie and then I put on the top. I got some chips and ate it all up. I then asked for another burger and got it. I put on the same things and ate that down too.

After that I had desert, played some more and went to bed.

Asthma Show

Thursday 28 May 2015

The Asthma Show

Today, on a bright sunny morning, the classes of Glenbrae School went down to the hall to watch a show about asthma. We met a man whose name was Chris. Chris was in a bright blue tuxedo.

He talked to us about Asthma and what it can do. It can affect your lungs and breathing system. It changes your healthy looking Broncho Pipe to a infected Broncho Pipe.

The things that Trigger Asthma:

Flower Pollen, Smoke, Virus, Animal Fur, Dust Mites and Cold Air.

We can prevent Asthma by using Preventer Inhaler.

Partway through the show, Sailor the Puffer Fish entered from the storage cupboard. I liked Puffer Fish because when we sang a song, he did a cool tail move.

I learnt a lot because of the show.

Keeping Healthy in Winter

In winter, there are a number of things we should all do to stay healthy.  These include:

• shower every day
• keep your fingernails short and clean
• wear clean clothes
• wash your hair and check for nits / headlice
• keep your feet dry to prevent athletes foot
• eat healthy food
• exercise
• if you get a cold, cough and sneeze into your arm, not over people
• wash your hands regularly, especially after going to the toilet and before touching and eating food

Motat

On Wednesday 13 May, Glenbrae School classes Room 7, 9 & 10 went to Motat by bus to learn about technology from WW1.

When we got there, Katherine welcomed us and told us the rules about Motat. Once she had finished she told us we could have morning tea. Mrs Raj then told the helpers to go and we went last.

We then had our educator led session. All the activities were hands on activities. I started with typing on a typewriter. Then we moved onto pigeons. We then went to contacting others in the battlefield. Lastly we went to badges.

Then we went onto the tram to go on the tram ride. The conductor told us some facts about the tram and what engines it has. It has four engines and is a Melbourne train painted red for Auckland trams.

We went back to our meeting place and were allowed to have lunch. After lunch we then did trail around Motat (our group did not do it but the other groups did). We then went on our Teacher Guided Tour around Motat. We explored all the buildings, looked at some cars and did the mirror maze.

Burma Trail

In the weekend we did the Burma Trail in the dark. The Cubs started with the Scouts following us as I am a Cub. The first time we were allowed our eyes open but the second time the Scouts needed to go backwards with their eyes closed but the Cubs went with their eyes closed.
