** M y E x p l a n a t i o n  **  What are the effects that drugs have on a person? Drugs can have a terrible effect on the body. Drugs can have a permanent effect on your health and can lead to mental illness or even death. Use of drugs can effect your family, friends and the people around you. People shouldn’t use drugs to make themselves feel good and popular. Using drugs is foolish and once you get addicted it’s hard to stop.  There are many types of drugs that people can become addicted to. Each one has it’s own problems and outc omes. There are four main types of drugs. Upper Stimulants make the blood in your body pump faster and they also get your body on a ‘high’ after taking a Depressant or after getting on a ‘low’. There are also Hallucinogens which make you see things and Inhalants like paint, glue and petrol which can badly harm your brain and lungs. Some effects of taking drugs are getting on ‘highs’ and ‘lows’. People get on ‘highs’ and ‘lows’ when they take a stimulant which makes the blood pump faster then when your blood gets to ‘normal’ they think that there on a ‘low’ so they take another stimulant and so on. There are many effects such as vomiting, paranoia, unawareness and illness.They also effect your MRJICE (Memory, Reasoning, Judgment, Intellec t, Concentration, Emotion) The effects of using drugs can get worse if you carry on taking them. The consequences of taking drugs are normally worse than the effects. Drugs can lead to lung and heart failure, violence, damage on your long-term health and eve n death. With the continuous use of many drugs you you can easily become disabled and your brain can become very damaged. Drugs are very harmful to yourself and t he others around you, You can choose to take the depressed, ill and violent road in your life or the normal, happy life... It’s your choice.

I'm really happy with the finished product. As you probably notice I have changed the mask design. I decided to add hair on as extra affect in my opinion it looks more full and interesting. The cherry blossom branch turned out to be better than I thought it would be I thought I would make a mistake but luckily I didn't. The Japanese mask turned out way better than I thought it would. I have really enjoyed making the mask and I would like to thank Mrs Mayston for helping the class and myself. ** H e r e i s m y f i n i s h e d c u l t u r a l m a s k **

Andrea explaining what we were going to be doing.

Elle, Katie, Anna and I working on our Picasso style artwork. The classes finished artwork

This is my finished Picasso Artwork What we did: First we rolled paint onto tinfoil taped to the table and painted the tinfoil with the colour we wanted then we got a ear bud and drew on our picasso face. Then we got a piece of paper and gently placed it down on top of the paint with our picture drew into it. After that we slowly lifted the paper up. We let them dry and then went over the lines with pastel.

This is my imitation piece What we did : First we painted the paper with watercolour paints. When they were dry we painted on the trees, leaves, waterlillys and bushes, we had to do something similar to a picture off the internet Andrea had.



** S C I E N  C E T R I P ** A group of up to 12 students spent the day learning at Massey University. We were lucky enough to spend time learning in the science department, working with maths, chemistry and physics lecturers. We all gained a great deal from the experience, coming back to school extremely motivated to continue on with our science and mathematics interests.



A group of GATE robotics students went to Massy University to see what robotics things they do there. We saw things such as Robots playing soccer, a machine to work at hospitals and we even saw a kicking robot! Here are some pictures from the day.

** B P C H A L L  E N G E ** A group of selected students (4 from year 5&6 and 4 from year 7&8) were chosen to be placed in a team for the BP Challenge. The BP challenge is a challenge that BP supports. At the BP change you have to work in a team of 4 and do some hands on activities that get judged. There is a MEGA Challenge which you complete over a few weeks and then take with you there and then there is a Mini Challenge which you are told about on the day.

MEGA Challenge: Our MEGA Challenge was that we had to create packaging, bottling, and a carrying container for a six pack of Ginger beer. (which we had to make) We also had to make posters and create our own original recipe.

On the Day: One the day of the BP challenge we were told that our mini challenge was going to be to make a backpack out of 20 sheets of newspaper, a roll of cellotape and 2 A4 Sheets of cardboard. The backpack had to be big enough to hold a medium luchbox and jacket and it had to be able to carry the weight of 1 heavy cellotape snail.

Results: We did not get a placing on the mini challenge, but we did come third with our Ginger Beer even though we were going against high schools!The brand was called SHAKE which stands for Shayden, Anna, Kelly and Emily (those were the people in our group)

Here are some pictures from the day!

This term for P.E we are doing Gymnastics. For gymnastics we practice on the beam, the vault, the tramp and big mat and the small mats.

**Goal 1: Do a forwards flip on the tramp and big mat** I can do a roly-poly on the mat which is like a flip but using my hands for support. I am a bit uncertain about doing a full flip on the mat incase I injure my neck or back. But, I'll try my best. **Goal 1 evaluation**: I have managed to do a couple of flips on the mat and I had alot of fun in doing so, but I am happy with sticking to a half roly-poly, half flip for now.

**Goal 2: Do a full turn on the beam** I can do a half turn on the beam my now I am aiming to do a full turn. **Goal 2 evaluation**: I have managed to do a couple of full turns and stay on the beam, but the rest of the the time I fell off :O

The life education bus is a mobile classroom where students learn about different things such as how the body works. The seiner students learnt about drugs and alcohol. When learnt about the different types of drugs such as inhalants, depressants, stimulants and hallucinates. We also looked at a video of people who take drugs and they explained how they feel and the drugs affected them. These are a couple pictures of classes in the life ed - Room 15 & 16









This is my homework planning/what I know work.



Here are our four school windmills



** N a v i g a t o r ** **Initiative:** I think I show initiative when I know that things need to be completed, So I will do these in my own time so that they get completed.

**Responsibility:** When I do something wrong I tend to try and find an explanation or a way out of it I need to work on owning up and taking responsibility for my actions rather then putting the blame on others.

**Resilience:** I know that in myself when I don't want to do something or don't see the point, I'll try find a way to get out of it. I need to work on this by giving everything a go even if I don't see the point or don't want to try it.

This term we are doing a production called ** R i g h t H e r e, R i g h t N o w. **   It will be held on Monday the 19th September 2011 at the Regent. The production is about two Posties that go around the world to deliver tickets to the Rugby World Cup. They go to places such as Mexico (Room 12), India (Room 15), Hawaii (Room 16) and France (Room 17). At the end all of the countries come together and we all sing Right Here, Right Now.

**Review:** The production went very well on Monday night! It was fun for everyone and even though there was a little muck up with the props and music it was fine in the end!

Here is a list of classes in the order that they went in the production

**First** **-** Room 9 (The Pacific) **Second** **-** Room 2 and 3 (USA) **Third -** Room 4 (Madagascar) **Fourth** **-** Room 5 and 1 (Australia) **Fifth** **-** Room 14 (Italy) **Sixth** **-** Room 15 (India) **Seventh** **-** Room 7 (Japan) **Eighth** **-** Room 12 (Mexico) **Ninth** **-** Room 8 (England) **Tenth -** Room 6 (Ireland) **Eleventh** - Room 17 (France) **Twelfth** **-** Room 16 (Hawaii) **Thirteenth** **-** Room 13 (New Zealand)
