On Tuesday we had a special assembly with Mr Grieve who came to speak to us about the food bank. Here is what we had to say about this:

Ella – Mr Grieve came in

Lauree-Ann & Erin – They don’t let the same people come all the times

Chenet – They don’t have fresh food. They just have tins and packets.

Thank you to Michael who was our photographer.

Today Jill Hood came in to our class to talk to us about alcohol. She is a Health Improvement Officer.

We learned:

Kealan – alcohol can be bad for you. It can make you act differently.

Chenet – it takes one hour for a unit of alcohol to leave our body

Peter – three things which could have alcohol in them are beer, wine and vodka

Lauree-Ann – children shouldn’t drink alcohol. Adults shouldn’t drink too much.

Michael – you need to be 18 before you can drink alcohol

Jenna – you need to have proof that you are 18 to buy alcohol

Theo – nine out of ten adults drink alcohol

Jed – more than 100 people die each year from alcohol

Michael – alcohol can make you sick

The picture below shows the effect of drinking alcohol on our bodies.

 

Today we had a visit from Michael Coutts from Dogs Against Drugs.

He brought with him a lot of equipment which we got to try on.

He also let us try on handcuffs.

We also got to meet Blade, a trained drugs dog.

 

We learned a lot and really enjoyed the visit. Thank you!
