Life education

Drugs and alcohol are chemicals that make damage to your, heart,  brain,

and also they can take over your organs. If you ever take drugs or alcohol  it

would change how a human's body works…

Since harold has finished. I now know the purpose of how drugs and alcohol can hurt your family and yourself. Having the addiction can cause serious anger into your life because your body is not fully developed as your brain can only take only one if you have not been fully grown up. if this does happen this can cause you to have slow reactions as the alcohol or drugs can take over your brain signals.

For the last past few week have been discussing how you can start to be addicted…

and this can be caused just by your friends, as they have been asking people to buy this

product as they are trying to get money doing this can lead to serious danger and your brain

is telling yourself to have more and more. If your body tries to have drugs or alcohol for the first time you could possibly die from the decision that you have made, If you choose to ever have alcohol or drugs it is best to think what would happen if you do this… think about the addiction and how it hurts people, and if you watched the videos with harold you could see how bad it became.

If you have ever been sore or sick you would probably take medicine, you already

no about the type of drugs that can be used in there such as chemicals.

If you are talking about the legal bad drugs then those are the ones that can

change the way that your body works such as damage to all your body… it is good

for you to know before you even go near drugs or alcohol there are chemicals that make your

brain signal of, when this happens and you get really bad and you get hurt you won't be feeling anything to the next day.

 

Your brain can only signal so much for instance if you would go have

alcohol you brain can only take over one drink but that is only when your body is fully developed

so if you have more than two,  the alcohol goes then through you body and then goes to the brain and make it not fully work...

Going lift education made me learn to have really get decision and think

about how bad things can get… Seeing how all these people got hurt made me

think about what it would do to my family

reading football

Referring to the title of the text what do you think the article is about?

I would say it is about a football game that they would go to maybe every

saturday. I would recommend this as it says saturday and once you have game

on a certain day you would have all your games on that day.

Why do Saturday’s start early for Alice?

To get to the ground early to prepare for the game so that if

another team came I guess they would have the first spot to

choose from, because they can choose a spot that is just right for them.

What does Alice enjoy being a part of, for what reason do you believe she enjoys this?

She enjoys being in the backline while her team is arriving to train

as they are getting busy setting up that goals.

What does the goal weigh? What do you think Ashleigh is doing when she says this. Think about if the goal were to literally weigh this, would it be even possible for Ashleigh to lift it?

Ashleigh said that the goal weighs a ton but she means that it seems heavy

to her. If this actually was a ton she wouldn’t be able to lift it as it would be to

heavy for her it would be impossible.

How do you think the girls are feeling prior to their game?

Probably because they are nerves because they haven’t played

them before and so this means that this is their first time against them

so they would think that they are maybe a really good game.

Put yourself in their shoes, how would you feeling/ how do you feel before playing a netball or rugby game?

I would feel good because you only know how they play once you versus them.

And if they are a really good player and you can see that she/he has potential then

you can get tips from then so that in your next game you can play with them.

“Jessica jumps high and deflects the ball” what does this mean?

This means that you are changing directions because your body

is interposing.  

What are the girls doing prior to their game starting?

They are trying to kick the ball away from their opponent so that they can help

their own team to get a try. Because if you don't try and get the ball of the other team there

is less luck that your team will win.

Refer to the images at the top of page 6. For what reason are they doing this?

They are taking turns on being goalkeeper while the rest of the team

fire kick the balls into the goal… so that they can win.

Frank urges the girls to not give up, what does it mean when you urge someone to do something?

It means they have to do somthing so for example

Can you make me a malo so this means you urge them]

to make or do something.

In most sports games there is always a referee, what is the role of the referee?

To make sure they are playing they are playing right in the right time

so that they can not cheat, referees can make you game better because without

your reef you have no game so it is best to have a reef,

Why is a referee so important?

They are so important because without them you

can’t have a game so it is best to have a reef during

your game and also it makes us play properly.

What are three very important characters a person needs to have to be part of a sports team.

They need to be sporty have great attitude to your

how you play because if you have played soccer heaps then you are most

likely good at soccer.

Basketball

A regulation of basketball insists at least seven people a time during the game.

While this happens, there is a additional clock board that can be used for your game so that you don’t fight about the time. Once you existed this into your game this can cause your team to be a tie. Basketball can be known as a fun time game for example anybody young or old that can be recommended for this game… You can possibly make new friends as you join so that you can feel more confident playing with the team that you have.

Once you have played basketball. For a month or so, your coach may start to be demanding for your team to win. Things can go wrong so it’s best to listen, and learn

while you have training to get a good start of the day so that things can go great when you have your game…. training is good for your body as you might not do exercise at home, going to training can make you more fit, learn new things, and make more friends…

If you have never played basketball it will be fun to try it out and see all these different moves…

The main things in basketball includes dribbling, teamwork, communication, and have fun.

To win you need to get goals in the hoop so you can earn your team a goal. To do this you you need to make sure that your opponent misses there shot from the hoop, Once you have then made them at least miss you need to get to your hoops from the opposite side and that is how you make your way across  basketball.
