Diabetes research with Kingston

This is the research that our groups Muri Paroa and Toki, in Room 20, have been working on about diabetes for the past week. Thanks to our awesome Teacher Mrs Squires.

There are many consequences to having Diabetes. These include stroke, dehydration, blindness, and many more. They can become a lot worse if not treated immediately and can lead to death. There are two different types of Diabetes, type one and two. You can only get type one if  you are born with it, type  is a different story. It can be passed down from the family, this is called a genetic condition.

Dehydration is caused by an overflow of glucose and insulin, building up in the blood. Because the body cells are not responding to the insulin and absorbing the glucose, it builds up in the blood.   So the body takes  water from the blood cells to try flush the glucose and insulin out and thats why you become thirsty.

To avoid serious complications, people with diabetes need to keep their blood sugar level at an average level. A good diet, and exercise will help to control the amount of sugar that goes in the Blood stream. If the sugar level is too low then that can cause tiredness *quick note* [ the glucose is like an energy source so if there’s not enough then you're not getting that much energy.   

Constellations ?

Well you might just ask what are constellations. I will try my best to explain what constellations are. “So where were we”, oh yes kick back and enjoy my story. If you look into the sky in the night, there will be little stars and they a called constellations. Some of them look like connect the dots. Behind the dots are some mythical gods. Like Aphrodite, Hermes , Zeus and many more. Most people say back before all of us were born, the stars were a big help to some adventurist. Like chief Kupe and his men. They were lead to New Zealand by the constellations in the skies. I think that constellations a just beautiful. They are a big help and may I add just to make sure I that I said beautiful they are beautiful.

My Term 1 Reflection

My first term of my last year at this wonderful school. There have been some ups and there have been some downs. There were spectacular highlights and awesome fun and learning. I’ve improved in all my areas this term but I did get distracted a few times. Also getting fit at P.E and learning the new knowledgeable sporting skills has been great. What I didn't enjoy this term was getting a growling from my awesome teacher for forgetting the little things. The little things are talking while the teachers talking , not listening while the teacher is telling you the instructions and many more. Other than that I had a lot of fun and I am trying hard to remember the little things. My goals for next term are to remember the little things, to not get distracted, and to get most of my work done on time. Those were my minuses for this term and I need to work on them. When I start fresh next term I want to also work on my maths and impress my teacher so she doesn't tell me off then she won't lose her voice . This term I loved making movies. Such as my rap , my goals movie at the beginning of this term. sending my messages in the songs and making it clear so my audience could understand. This term was awesome. Looking forward to term 2 to have a lot of adventures.

My goals for this year...

My Narrative ....

“Ahhhh” I yawned. It was a windy horrible day in the east side. The buildings were getting icey and solid. Like the buildings were tall concrete trees. “Bye Mum im going for a run today” I said with excitement.  By the way my name is demetrius im am the prince. Well not the prince of the country. But the prince of Elstree , thats my street.

Lets get back to our adventure shell we. So it was a foggy and mysterious day? Why you might ask... While My friends and I were running something strange happened? We were captured... By some federal agents?

They took us the bush their secret headquarters. They told us what they were doing? they had been studying on us...? The chief told us that we had secret super powers. That was a jaw dropping moment for the four of us.

We had to protect the world they said. So we named ourselves the super fours. We all trained and figured out our powers. We all know now why us four got chosen. The super fours , were the four elements. Water , earth , fire and air.

I Demetrius was FIre , Toph was earth , Katara was water and aang was air. We will fight villains all together and we will bring peace.  Join us on next time . To be continued.

My Independent Writing....

“Ahhhh yes” as I got on my comfortable bed It felt like I was in paradise. Thinking back on what I did today. I went to Point England beach with my mate and man was it a walk. It was worth it though seeing the nice water and the awesome waves. When we got there Ahsin didn't waste time and dashed to the icy cold water. Just to say it was a tropical day.

We saw my other friends rushing towards us man they were sweating. We all did some bombs into the monstrous waves. The bombs we did were the , Mangere , Staple , V’s , and Coffins. We all had fun till 7 o'clock.

After the beach we grabbed a mean munch from Carls Jr and it was very tasty. We all had a mean laugh and the atmosphere was calm. We all walked home so we dropped each other off home.
