Porscha - Term 3 Sample Writing.

The reason its important to stay healthy, is because you could catch harmful diseases. Like, Measles, Rashes, Chicken Pox. etc. Doctors seriously recommend going straight to the doctor for Medication, if you have a sore throat. If not treated in time, you will be diagnosed with ‘Rheumatic Fever’, which leads to Heart Damage. For instance, showering daily is essential, because you have to be healthy. When you fall over, you’ll notice that the graze is clean & Cherry Red. That means its clean, it still doesn’t matter, you still have to cover it up, if you don’t, it could get infected.

Life Education.

This term for 4 weeks, we ( Class 2 ) were given the opportunity to participate in an exciting activity. It’s called the ‘Life Education Caravan’. This Terms topic was about ‘Alcohol & Drugs’, and what the consequences would be if you were to take them.


First, we watched a brief video of people that have been affected by drugs. Zeb, started doing drugs when he found out that glue gave you a ‘buzz’. He then started sniffing glue, which gave him all sorts of rashes. Zeb had the potential to be an All black, but that all changed when he decided to do drugs. ‘I wasn’t being affected, my family was’ Zeb said. His mum couldn’t accept the fact that Zeb had been doing drugs. So, she kicked him out. Zeb went to live on the streets.


Jason was another victim of addiction, he was a Straight-A Student. Until his friends invited him to a party, when he arrived, his friends offered him a drink. ‘Why not’ Jason replied. Later on that night, his friends introduced him to drugs. From that day forward, Jason became a Drug Addict. Jason had overdosed at 25 years old.


Rita’s story was a bit different. The only reason she took drugs was because she wanted to fit in. She saw her friends taking drugs, so she copied them. Not long after she started, she was addicted. Rita was arrested, she was sentenced to 5 months in prison. When Rita got out, she decided that she wanted to be a teacher. All of her application forms were rejected. ‘Just think about the consequences before you do drugs’ Rita pleaded.

When you put alcohol into your body, its ends up in the stomach. The stomach can remove liquid very frequently. Alcohol is already a liquid, so this isn’t a problem. It then goes down into the small intestines, which leads to the liver. The liver can process one bottle of alcohol every hour. Once everything is dissolved, the alcohol travels through the bloodstream, then into the brain.
