Liggins Institute
On Wednesday the 1st of September, the whole of room 7 and our teacher Miss Goodier jumped on the bus and went to Liggins Institute. We went to the Liggins Institute and we met Chander to learn more about a healthy life and what affects our life around us. We also talked about diet, why because when the scientist tested the rat not long ago, it gave birth to 6 pups. The mother rat was not eating at a healthy diet, so the 6 pups became large (FAT) when they were growing. The test they did was a fair test. These fat pups lost blood pressure when they were growing up.
New Zealand Hauora was about heart disease, that causes death. Every 90 minute a Nzer dies from coronary heart disease because these people have been eating a bad diet. These deaths a preventable. A 12-14 year old has about 4 litres of blood. At Liggins Institute we did activities which was fun. My favorite activity was the end of the day QUIZ. ( I only got 5 right). The biking activity was quite tiring because we had to relax first and then we had to paddle as fast as we can, I nearly lost my breath.
