Last Day with Harold

Today on May 4th we went to see Harold for the last time this year. We learnt about drugs and cigarettes and how they can be really bad for your body. We were able to ask questions and put the answers on the wall next to the question. Yesterday we watched a clip about a girl called Ana and how her " friends " used peer pressure to make her do stuff, notice the word " peer " does not mean the fruit pear it means they say things that allow pressure to seep through and make someone think that they are uncool or that they are missing out. Anyway back to the story, So Ana's friends used pear pressure to make her think she was missing out. So Ana and her friends went to the skate park and Ana found out that her friends were smoking, YUCK! So yeah she had a choice to make, not to do it, or, to do it... she did it and later on at the disco she stopped because someone told her what smoking could do and how it could really harm you. That was the topic making choices.
Today's lesson was about our health and how a normal person who does not smoke has a nice clean liver but when you smoke you get tar on your liver and it goes all black creating cancer. We also learnt about some of the drinks we have and how they contain drugs and nicotine. All of these things are bad for you and I have to say that if you want to smoke or drink alcohol then you should be aware of the dangers and try not to smoke. Drinking can be just as bad because instead of drinking healthy water you drink caffeine or any other drugs that can be mixed in with your drink. This makes your brain say " We need to start getting messages through faster." After dealing with this, your body starts to go down rapidly and you feel the urge to drink more caffeine. At the end we got to see Harold, he sung us a song and then we left saying goodbye to Harold for the rest of the year.
