sun safety

We need to wear sun hats and sunblock and to not get skin cancer.
At our school, Mountview Primary, we're trying to be sun smart in our school. In our school we are trying to build tents and lots of shade. We need to help people to not get sunburnt so there isn't a chance they will get skin cancer.

gardens

At Malfroy we have been growing plants since last year. We have grown strawberries, beetroot, asparagus and beans. We have lots of gardens around the school. Room10 always

waters the garden after morning tea and after lunch. Mr Francis is proud of the effort that

we have put into the gardens.

Gardining down at Ohinemutu

Down at Ohinemutu we do gardening because it's part of our learning and our topic.

Every Thursday and Friday we go down to Ohinemutu to learn about compost, fertilizer and planting plants. After we do all these jobs, we get to have free lunch but before that we have to do lots of jobs and also taking some pictures.

I predict in the future we will be great at planting.

The End.

sunsmart

Last week we had cross country with the primary schools. We did not have sunscreen with us. We didn't have shade. Mrs Kemp will provide us some sunsceren and shade next time.

Information on Sun Smart

Diffrent types of cancer

Melanoma

Squameas

Basal cell

The UVB and UVA rays come from the sun and they are present even if you can't see them.

If you get burnt when you're young when you get older you could get cancer which no-one likes.

It is best to wear bucket hats and brimmed hats becasue they can cover you from the sun.

Senior School at RPS !!! :D

Senior School 10/11, are helping the community by planting native plants . We also did a wet land , we put the wet land on the lake to clean the water . The plants that are on the wet land in the lake are sucking up all the dirty water making clean . At Ohinemutu we are learning gardening skills so that we can do the same at school . All the informatoin we get from our tutors we take back to school and share with everyone else, so that the whole school can be part of it . Senior School has made a garden by the classes we have put up are wooden fence so it can hold in the dirt . The boys in room 10 came out of the class to fill the garden up, we will be planting vegetables.

One Thursday morning when senior school was doing the wet land project, the newspaper man came and took photos of us and our wet land . We really enjoy planting .

The End

SunSmart Information

Melanoma is a cancer that is very deadly and you get it from being in the sun to long.
You can still get cancer when it is not sunny because the uvb rays will still be there.

Gardening.

For the last five months, Rotorua Primary School has been going down to Ohinemutu to plant some native plants on land and also on water.

This is working with the community to tidy up the environment so we can learn to keep our school clean and tidy.

Also we are learning about planting plants, so we can plant plants at Rotorua Primary School.

we sang ''lazy song''

Last week a director named Mike Johnson came to our school to do a music film. We were lip singing. We had singers, dancers, and actors. It was really fun. We had to find props for our film. We started practising and it took a long time. Our dance was cool. The director edited the film and the film was really cool to watch. The director was funny and so was his assistant. They also taught us the LOVE YOU sign.

Health Promotion

We have learnt how to keep our bodies safe from Melanoma. We have decided to always wear a hat so that you won't get skin cancer. Today we have learnt a lot of things from other kids ideas. We have learnt that boys can get skin cancer at the back of their necks and also on the tops of their ears. The skin cancer society lady was speaking about how Bob Marly died. Bob Marley died from skin cancer because he did not look after himself by not wearing a hat or putting sun screen on.

HPS Cluster

Today we had an HPS cluster hui. Some of the schools from Taupo and Rotorua came we met a lady, Mel, who talked to us about skin cancer and how to avoid it. Then Mel told us that Bob Marley died of skin cancer and everyone thought he died of smoking.
