Youth+day!!!

 

Today was Youth Day we learnt lots about all sorts of different things. First up Ms Fryer taught us about the legal and illegal drugs that go into our body, the choices we have to make in the future and the body I learnt that when the stomach chews up all the food and then it goes into your intestines and some of it goes into your blood stream and travels around your whole body. Then two woman from the Cancer Society named Nicola and Anna came and talked to us about smoking we learnt about the places Smoking can harm you in the body, how many people die a year from smoking and how much money you are wasting on smokes every year. I learnt about all the different places smoking harms your body I thought they only harmed a couple of things even though I hate smoking and will probably never will do it. The woman also brought what they called the butt jar it had a lot of smoke butts in it and we had to guess how many were in the jar who ever gets the closest number gets a dollar for every smoke butt there is in the jar. Our last speaker was Ms Fryers daughter Carly, Carly is a black belt in 3 dun karate. She showed us an example of it was very elegant. She taught us about the weapons and the type of karate she does. She teaches karate to some students younger than her.
