The science of happiness

Hey I'm back and today I will tell you about one of the chemicals for happiness which is called Oxytocin (some people know this as the love chemical).

So when you feel happy or feel calm and relaxed you have oxytocin going through your body.

In pursuit of happiness

Kia ora and welcome back to my blog today we're going to explore the four types of well beings you need to be happy. I made this google to explain them

I think that I am strongest in my physical well being because I participate in lots of sports, like, netball, hockey, basketball and equestrian.

The one I lack most at is mental and emotional. I say because sometimes I find it really hard to control my emotions.

Hopefully you learnt about inner peace

and

Do you have all the elements of inner peace?

Perfect poem

 Hello and welcome back to my blog today I will be sharing my poem about my Turangawaewae.

The place where the sand flys and the trees blow,  

Where when the fresh air makes a tear there's always a rainbow near.

The trees are green as green as a grasshopper all year round with there big leafs and tall trunks,

You go round the corner and you see the river with water glistening like polished diamond,

The grass sways in never ending paddocks,

Oreti beach, Invercargill is my Turangawaeawae

Where is you turangawaewae?

Magical maths

 Hello and welcome back to my blog today I will be showing my math for this week. My goal is:

Use a broad range of mental strategies to solve addition and subtraction problems.

The strategies that we learnt were Tidy numbers , Place value and reversibility.

My favourite one was place value because it can solve some big equations and is simple to do. 

To do place value all you need to do is add the hundreds then the tens then the ones.

Here is my slide

Book review the baby-sitters club (Blog 1)

          Hello and welcome back to my blog and today I will be rating the baby-sitters club boy crazy Stacey. In this series I will be rating the baby-sitters club books , I will not be doing them in order.

  

I like this book because the chapters are not to long and it is really interesting it just makes you want to keep reading and reading. Also I like book because they also offer it in a novel and Netflix has a series on the baby-sitters club. I also like this book because it has such good drawings in it. It explains so much and if you are not a reader then just watch the Netflix series. 

I recommend this book and there are so many other books so you don't just have read this one.

I think this book is for ages 9+.

I would rate this book 5 whole stars.

Hello and welcome back to my blog ad today I will show you my task that i had for writing this week. My story is called Left behind.

                                                   Have you ever been left by anyone?

Once there was a family that lived in a place called Auckland. The family’s last name was Barrett and there was a Dad called Jake , a Mum called Emily and children , Beauden and Brittany. Beauden was a famous rugby player and he played for the blues and the all blacks. Brittany was a 2 year old.

When there was a rugby game they got ready and Beauden had already been picked up by the all blacks van. When they had arrived at the stadium they went and got food , Dad got the hot dog , Mum got chicken on chips and Brittany got a hot chips pottle.

The game had started and Beauden had already scored 3 tries! After a while it was half time and Brittany was bursting to go to the toilet so Mum took her. when they were at the toilet block Beauden called Mum and while they were talking ,Brittany saw the candy floss and went over to the stand and stood behind all of the people then when Mum hung up and Beauden she looked down and Brittany was not there and then she was looking around she was not there.

When the game started again Beauden got a kick through the posts and they called his name out on the speakers then when Brittany heard his name she ran out and her Mum saw her and gave Brittany a big hug. When they got home and had dinner they were talking about the night then after they had finished eating their food they all snuggled up on the couch and watched the late filming of the game on T.V.
