Benefits of exercise

Explanation Writing:

The information I am about to tell you is all about the benefits of physical activity. These are some great tips about how we can be better at staying healthy and stronger for the future. Benefits of physical activity is one of the most important things you can do for your health.   

Being physical can help you with tons of things especially because it  helps you with staying healthy. Eating loads of fruit and veggies is 2 of the main things you should be eating everyday as it can help you reduce the risk of having heart disease, high blood pressure and cancers for the future. Everyone should be drinking water as it’s technically what’s making us move around a lot, water is what everyone should be drinking as it’s a 100% healthy drink and is what helps us move around a lot. Be physical, stay safe and eat/drink plenty of veggies, fruit and water.   

Another way of being physical is getting a lot of exercise. Everyone should be doing 30 minutes worth of fitness/exercise per day and drink plenty of water. If you have chosen to do a whole week worth of exercise the amount of time you should be doing is 300 minutes throughout the whole week. Getting this amount of exercise will actually help you lose weight in just in a week. Exercising a lot can help you with staying healthy and it’s what we do everyday after lunch, which is what I kind of enjoy but it does help me a lot.

Last but not least physical activity can help you with how you feel and all the moods you are feeling at the moment. Physical activity can help you with stress, emotion, being angry and much more. This is what helps me a lot when I’m stress, due to physical activity I have been acting a lot weirder than usual but it has never stopped me from finishing my work. Physical activity can help you a lot and is what helps me and my friends actually.  

The elements written in this template is obviously all about the benefits of physical activity. All elements were also based on how it helps the brain and the body. Physical activity is the most important thing to improve your health and reduce all the risks of catching something bad. Physical activity has plenty more of reasons why we should be doing this to improve our health and much more. I really hoped you learned something really great and that you’d try a few of the tips written in this template. Thank you and god bless.

The Wave 3

The Wave

It had been a wild day. A hot nor - westerly airstream had sent

angry grey clouds scudding across the sky and had whipped the

surf up into a fury. From the wooden deck that ran along the front

of the beach house, Paul watched the surfers carving up the feral

tubes out the back, pulling out before the waves peaked and

crashed down upon them. He wished he could be part of the

action, but his mother refused to buy him a surfboard until he

was older. ‘The sea can be a cruel master’, she always said.

Paul was mesmerised by the ocean. From his vantage point, high

up in the sand dunes, he was in awe of the way that it stretched

out before him; the power that came rolling in from so far away in

such a rhythmic fashion, untameable, unstoppable, never-ending,

swell after swell. The sun was descending quickly towards the

horizon, but the heat of the day still lingered, sticky and

oppressive. Time for one last swim before his parents arrived

home.

His mind made up, he sprang into action, jumping off the deck

and hurtling down the sand dunes. It was always a challenge to

stay upright, fighting the momentum of the downward journey

combined with the shifting surface beneath his feet. Down on the

beach now, he ploughed through the soft sand, finally gaining a

sure foothold as the sand got harder, racing into the shallows with

the water spraying up all around him. He plunged on, knee deep,

waist deep, looking for the perfect moment to dive in.

Surprised by the ferocity of the waves, he was suddenly confronted

by a huge wall of water that reared up, towering over him,

gathering its force to smash him into the beach. He dived into the

blue-green wall, escaping the rage of the broken white water.

But this wave had a twist in its tail. He felt an obscene strength

driving him backwards and down into the sea floor. It held him in a

merciless grip, rolling, tumbling and twisting him. He fought

desperately for the surface, his lungs bursting. With a final surge,

the wave spewed him out into the shallows, and, its force spent,

lazily retreated.

Some things to ponder

Story structure

Setting: Where does the story take place?	The Beach house and The Beach:
Characters: Who are the characters in the story?	Paul, Paul’s mother, The waves:
Problem: What is the problem in the story	Paul was so determined to go in the water so he decided to dive into the water without a surfboard, suddenly a humongous wave came along driving Paul backwards and down onto the sea floor. He ended up rolling, tumbling and twisting in the water as well as his lungs bursting for air.
Feelings: How do the main characters feel about the problem?	Paul was feeling very anxious and scared, as well as upset as he wasn't aloud to go for a swim / a surf. Paul was not feeling very well afterhis dive in the water.
Action: What action do the characters take?	The action was Paul´s dive in the water. He was feeling shocked as he got washed away from land. Paul was so frightened after his swim.
Outcome: How did the story end?	The wave had spewed Paul out into the shallows and his force spent lazily retreated.
Themes: Is there a lesson in the story?	The lesson to this story is… People like Paul should always listen to their parents or any adult in your family. Reasons are… you can end up just like Paul or you could be caught up in an accident.

Follow up

Our next follow up we had to do was to design our own swimsuit or some apparatus that

would help Paul control himself while swimming out to the ocean. Our final follow up was

actually a challenge. It was a very hard challenge as we had to write upto 20 - 30 sentences

about what might happen next during this storybyte. Take a look at what I’ve done individual.   

As Paul washed out to sea his mother had finally noticed that her son was missing

she tried extremely hard searching for him. She searched for hours and minutes until

the time had came, she had finally found his son washed out to sea. She quickly ran to

find help ( sea rescuers ) for them to paddle out to sea and grab him. As soon as the

rescuers caught up to the person under sea they had noticed it wasn’t Paul, It was just

a floaty with the same colors of what Paul’s clothing looked like. The mother gasped

and cried for a very long time, the rescuers were very sad to see Paul’s mother upset.

The next day as Paul was still missing the mother quickly stood up and started

searching for her son. Her son was nowhere to be found, she went to everyone’s

house near by the beach. She searched for hours and looked in every single house,

luckily there was only one house to be looked at. Quietly appearing into the house she

had found him lying upon a very hard and springy bed sleeping with 3 little ducklings,

the mother had burst into tears with a humongous smile on her face, she had hugged

him while he was still sleeping. She felt amazed, excited and determined to take her

son home. She had said to Paul, “I will never let you out of sight ever again” I will protect

you till the time when I leave this world/Planet. She had finally realized that he wasn’t

missing after all, He just went for a very quick swim and had found shelter closer to

where he was sleeping, everyone was so relieved and amazed about that. I wonder

what will happen next? Do you have any Ideas of what might happen?   

My Blurb:

     For this task we had to do a task called The Wave 3. It was a task all about characters and

the waves. I was told to write a 20 - 30 sentence which is why there is so much words

written above this blurb I've written. As I did this task I was told to read every single

paragraph and answer all the questions written in the timetable square boxes. I really

hope yous enjoyed my mini blurb hope to see yous all soon. Thank you and god bless

Attitude Talk

Who am I? What makes you who you are? Are we all normal? Well a few minutes ago all of team 5 had a very important discussion with a very clever man called Tony. The talk was all about attitude and how we can improve it by how we speak to others in our own ways. The very first question spoken by him was... What type of Animals are we? How do you know that you are that animal? Well let me tell you the options of animals and what they represent.

Animals and Representatives:

Otter: Loves entertaining others, who also acts like a clown and has heaps of fun, but then again an Otter can get bored very easily.

Lion: The leader of the group which tells there other team mates what to do and what not to do. A Lion can also be bossy and not in a fun way.

Golden Retriever: The loyal one who creates peace in world, happiness and kindness in other ways. The Golden Retriever also never says no especially when it comes to times when this animal needs to work.

Beaver: Hard worker meaning that the Beaver always finishes unfinished work or work from the week before heading outside to play. 

So what type of animal are you? A few minutes after talking about that he had carried on talking about things we should do when moving into the future. Things like, Dump Dumb Thoughts, Try Something New, Always Do The Right Thing, and to be helpful by Helping Others. We also talked about Genes, Our Environment and All The Choices We Make in life. 

Dump Dumb Thoughts:

As Tony was speaking he was saying that everyone should dump all their dumb thoughts. Meaning that you should stop listening to your friends opinions and just go with what ever your heart tells you. You shouldn't listen to your friends all the time as they could be putting you into great danger. So I think everyone should actually dump all their dumb thoughts, especially when it comes to playing with friends. 

Try Something New:

Everyone should try something new, for example. If you are still playing the sport say Netball you should actually stop playing that for a while and start thinking of something new to try, like Basketball or Tag or even applying for a job for yourself and your family. So I recommend everyone giving new things a go. 

Do The Right Thing:

People all across the globe should always do the right thing including adults. Doing the right thing can actually make someone feel a lot better, for example. If someone had just fell / tripped over something instead of looking at them and start laughing at them you should actually help them up and cheer them up. So everyone should start doing the right thing and start making peace in this world instead of all the fights we have been having (Mainly pointed out to America.

Help Others:

Final question was about helping others in your community and other places too Well, helping others is simple and very easy to remember. There's actually many different ways of helping others, final example. This is an example of what our school ( Pt England ) talks about almost every week. Treat other people the way you would like to be treated. Meaning that the way you would like to be treated ( kind, Generous, Special and helpful ) is the way you should treat friends, family and others. Helping others can change a persons life by cheering them up, making life easier for them, being there for them and supporting them. these are the most easiest / simple ways of helping others in life. Did you know that it's also the important ways of helping others. Well let me tell you now, everyone here should start helping others and not just on your own but start working together.  

Overall I really think everyone should actually try these things so that you get the feeling of doing all these topics I have just talked about. I really hope yous all enjoyed my blog post about attitude talk, it has been really fun talking to yous all about the stuff Tony has brought in to share with us. I recommend everyone giving this program a try which is just talking to someone in the community and will help solve all the problems you need to be helped with. So who's stopping you, give this a try and spend heaps of time talking to someone you can trust. Thank you all and god bless. 

Inferring through bubbles - The pink Umbrella!

WALT: Make Inferences by putting ourselves In a characters shoes!

My Blurb:
Doing this task I have learnt how inferences work and how to put ourselves in the characters shoes. This was a bit hard especially on the 6th slide, I felt this task challenging and a bit crazy to do. This task was all about us putting ourselves in the characters shoes and inferring through bubbles as it says on my title. This is a story from the pink Umbrella and was very easy to read and do. My goal for this task was actually not to complete it but actually to try writing my own sentences in my own words and ways. Thank you and god bless!

What is a function and a for loop?

A Function Programme:)

A function in coding is a type of of procedure or a routine. It is a group of different
commands of a programme that performs a specific action. It is a programme that
performs many operations but does not return a value. A function is a unit of code that
is often defined by it's role within a more greater structure in it.

A For Loop Programme:)

A for loop is a sequence of different instructions that is continually repeated over
and over again until a certain condition has reached. Typically when a certain command
is done, such as getting item of data and changing it. It is a control flow statement
for specifying iteration, which allowed the code to be executed repeatedly.
