What Does The Brain Do?

 The Brain, The main organ of the entire body. This organ controls functions such as body movment, thinking, memory and all of our involuntary processes.

MOVMENT

Have you ever wondered how you move your body, well whats causing it is the brain sending signals to a specific body part that you want to move travelling at 70-120 meters per second or 156-270 miles an hour and almost instantaneously allowing you to move.

THINKING/MEMORY

Not only movment but the brain also controls thinking and memories, two functions you need to live a normal life. The memory part f the brain is called the Amygdala, not only does the Amygdala control memorises it also controls emotions such as happiness and sadness. The thinking part of the brain is called the Cerebrum, which also controls decision-making.

INVOLUNTARY FUNCTIONS

The involuntary functions are the functions you do involuntary, hence the name. These functions consist of brathing, swallowing, blood pumping, and heart beating. All these functions are contolled by the brain stem. The brain stem is the stem that connects the brain to the spinal cord therefore allowing our systems such as the digestive system to function.

In conclusion the brain and all its functions are crucial to the survival for humanity and allow humans to thrive.

This slide is about the brain. We have been learning about the brain because our teacher saw a expert who knows a lot about the brain and she is trying to pass that knowledge to us.

My Injury

Yesterday I was sadly injured, not just any injury like a sore arm, I was injured by falling of my bike, tearing a ligament and bending my arm bone. I did this by riding to fast and falling of which I then tried to break my fall and ended up injury my wrist and arm majorly (In medical terms this injury is called a FOOSH injury. FOOSH means Fall On Outstreched Hand)

When this injury was inflicted I was unable to sleep the night and thought that it was broken. Once I went to the doctors and got my X-Ray I was informed that I had torn a ligament and had bent the bone in my arm.

It was extremly painful for the first couple of days but as the days past I started healing and feeling better. Although feeling dreadful and sore I still managed to make it through and suffer enough to come out better. What also helped was the McDonalds afterwards.

Cross Country

Every single year my school train and participate in cross country. Cross country is a sport that involes lots of running and you require a lot of stamania. This year we are training to trial out to go to the cross country zones.

Every year when we compete to go to the Cross Country zones, we always compete on a farm the is owned by one of the teachers at our school. In the Farm there are lots of hills bumps and areas that use all of your stamiana. To qualify for the zones you must come top 5 out of the year level that your in. And once you are at zones you to get to semi-finals you must come top 10 in all the people that race in your year level.

Even though cross country is a very difficult sport, in the end it is very rewarding and very fun. I cannot wait till we compete and even if I don't make it I know that the people that go to the zones will enjoy their time.

Moment In Time

Mostly every week our class like to write paragraphs about a photo and we describe whats happening, or we write the perspective of a character in the photo. This week instead of writing only a paragraph we wrote an entire narritive.

This is the link to the video we described.

Here is my story.

I was laying on the boiling hot floor as a fire had just ignited. I was on the brink of death. I heard the faint sounds of sirens, as i inhaled the ashes around me feeling like these will be my last breaths.

Suddenly I felt my weight being lifted, I heard chatter around me. I felt the breeze pushing me, and the faint siren sound got louder and louder.

I was placed on one of the firemens gloves so I would not feel the heat of the concrete. I then felt fresh water drenching my body and I breathed in in the fresh, clean supply of oxygen. Life has given me a second chance. Although feeling fearful, I also felt safe in the arms of my savour.

Try to guess which perspective I wrote from.

Holiday Happiness

In the holiday I didn't do much, but it was still a fun and entertaining holiday. I had lots of time to spend with my family and bond with them. It was very fun to play and chat with my brother.

This holiday although being a very plain was a very proactive in the sense of household proactivity. We did a lot of cleaning and we made the house look immaculate. Not only did we relax inside, we also spent a lot of time outside and on the trampoline. We also had really long walks with my brother and I going into town.

This holiday although was like most holidays it was still fun to talk and bond with my family and have a lot of fun pklaying games and playing outside.
