Personal Hygiene

Personal hygiene means to keep yourself clean by showering, washing your hair at the right times, cleaning and cutting your nails, brushing your teeth twice a day, cleaning your clothes and much more.

If you don’t wash your hands or clean and cut your nails when you eat then you could end up being sick because your hands have bacteria.  If you don’t brush your teeth then this can cause heart diseases. If you wash your hair too much with shampoo then you will get dandruff.

Brushing your teeth!

It’s very important to brush your teeth twice a day. If you don’t then there are consequences. If you brush your teeth twice a day then your teeth would be white, you would have a better smile, you’re breath would smell fresh and you would feel better as well.

Well if you don’t brush your teeth then it could get serious because you could have a smelly breath, yellow and black teeth,  heart disease and a bad smile. Some people also say that black coffee without milk or sugar stops your teeth from rotting. Is that true you ask?… Well yes it is true but I don’t know how.

Washing your hands

It’s bad to not wash your hands because all the things you’ve touched could have germs on it so when you have breakfast, lunch and dinner  the germs go on the food that you eat which can lead to sickness. To avoid getting dirty hands wash your hands before you eat your food, after you go to the toilet and after you play outside.

Taking a shower

Taking a shower is very important because if you don’t then you’ll be really stinky and have bad odour. Your skin and hair would get dirty and your chance of infections goes up, you’ll probably itch even more because there could be nits and lice living in your hair and skull.  

Madd Messenger Comes Back

On Friday the thirty first of July the Madd Messenger came to visit us. He said that it was about U Turn,  He told us about making good choices. He said to us that the choices we make can affect the future like the friends you hang out with and whether you listen or not. He drew Wonderwoman and Batman. It was sooo cool, he also made most of us think about our choices.

My Picture

My Creation

On Wednesday we went to technology and had to do this. We had to make a picture of what we thought graphics was and this is mine.

Whoops Our Brand New Car!

Have you ever been so embarrassed that you wished that an airplane would come out of the sky and crash you.

It all started in two thousand and six my dad brought a new car and picked me up from kindergarten. I was just walking and there it was… a brand new car. I ran to the car were my dad was sitting. He excitedly said “Get in, it’s our new car.” I jumped in and put my seat belt on.

I was all ready to go, vroom vroom the car went. We went on the road and it was fun. When we arrived home my dad got off. He told me to come but I was so excited that I wanted to stay in there. I told my dad that I really wanted to stay in there. He said “Okay”.

When I stayed in there I checked everything out. “This car is awesome” I said. But then something came to my mind. I remembered something, I remembered my dad pulling a kind of lever with a button on the tip of it. I pulled it and you’ll never guess what happened. The car rolled diagonally across the street. The car had crashed into a concrete block wall that was painted in white. A man was walking and saw me in the car. He saw me crying and picked me up.

He asked me “Where do you live?” 
I said “Across the road.” He carried me there and told my dad what happened.

After all that you probably thought my dad would be angry but he was very happy to know that I was okay.

The Madd Messenger

Did you know that you are unique and perfect just the way you are? Well if you didn’t  you should. I learnt this from Petia Wilson the man who came to our school to present a Madd Messenger message. He told us that we need to get rid of all our negative thoughts and think about your positive ones.

He likes superheroes because you can become one and make the world a better place. He is also very good at acting. We got in a circle and two volunteers went inside it but one at a time. We went in a circle saying positive comments about them.

Preventing electrical injuries

Preventing Injuries indoor…

This is going to be about injuries that are indoor and outdoor. It also shows how to prevent them. In life you will come across a lot of times where you will need to know how to prevent injury indoors. You will need it for things like:

• Making toast: you could get electrocuted be trying to get the toast out with a metal instrument.
• cooking: you could burn yourself.
• ironing: you could burn yourself or set fire to the whole house.
• using electricity near water: If the electricity touches water at the same time as a animal or a human touches it then the human or animal will be electrocuted.

So these are some ways to prevent injury:

• don’t put a metal utensil in a toaster.
• keep electricity away from water.
• find an adult to iron the children's cloths for them and to do the washing.
• some people are careless and take their phone with them into the bathroom where there is water. 
• Electrical things don't go with water anyway.

Preventing Injuries outdoor…

In life you will also come across a lot of times where you will need to know how to prevent injury outdoors. You will need it for things like:

• Walking alone: you could come to an electric wire that is broken.

So this is some ways to prevent injury from outdoors:

• Be supervised at all times.

Did you know that some phones can be taken into the water because some are water proof.

You have the power to follow electrical safety.
