Be Sun Smart

Be as safe as you can in the sun because you don’t want to get skin cancer also known as melanoma.

 

 If you wear sunscreen you won’t get sunburnt or melanoma. Sunscreen is a thick protective layer from the sun. If you wear sunscreen regularly you won’t get sunburnt and make sure you put water proof sunscreen on when you’re swimming.

 

If you stay in the shade more than the sun you won’t get sun stroke. Sun stroke is when you get sick and vomit. If you drink lots of water you won’t get dehydrated. Remember the sun can’t give you shade it can only make you overheat.

 

If you wear a hat in the sun that covers your ears and neck you won’t get sunburnt. If you have clothes that can cover your legs and arms I would recommend wearing them because you need to cover as much as you can of your body so that your skin won’t get sunburnt.

 

So now you know about skin cancer/ Melanomas you will hopefully be sun smart.

Market Day

On Saturday the 16^th we had had our Family/community market fun day at Glenham School.  In term 1 the leadership group decided to have a Market day at the end of the year to raise money to upgrade our Garden area.

There were six stalls selling different stuff.  Some of the activities were a Bouncy Castle, waterslide and Face Splash.  There were lots of food such as, Sausages, American Hot Dogs and baking and lots of drinks.

It took about a month and a half to organize the day.  It turned out great despite the weather. 

A big thank you to everyone who helped out, without your support the day wouldn’t of happened.

We really enjoyed the day because it was very successful.

Skiing!

Bam! Bam! It’s Thursday afternoon, I’m ready for the trip of my life. “We’re going Skiing,” I yell as we hopped in the car. Jessica came with me and my grandad. “Are we there yet” I kept yelling, it’s taking forever to get there. Yay! We’re in Wanaka but we’re lost. “Grandad there it is Wanaka Lakeview Holiday Park”.

We walked in to the smell of tea. Mrs Norman went early so that tea would be ready. Aaaaa… It’s time to go to bed, I slept with Courtney. “Wakey, Wakey” I say to Courtney, “we’re going skiing.”

Look there’s Cardrona Ski Field, look at all the snow. We got our gear straight away when we got there. I had a lesson first. We went on the big slope. It was fun. The snow kept hitting our face’s, it hurt, I felt like crying.

We left at one thirty. I was cold and wet. On the way home Jimmy, Jessica and Zeky came home with us. We went to my Uncle Bills house he has three dogs Toot, Coke and Ed. Ed was Zeky’s dog and Coke was Jimmy’s dog and Toot was my dog, Jessica didn’t have a dog. We went to Arrowtown, we saw the Chinese Village it was cool. Then we went to Queenstown and drove around, we saw boys in theirjockeys because they had been swimming. Jessica saw someone getting dressed without his curtains closed.

We stopped in Lumsden for tea I had a sandwich. Zeky and Jimmy were fighting over chips in their sleep. I sang really loud in the car and I scared everyone. I wish I could go next year but I’ll be at Menzies.
