Drugs Assessment | Health

For the past few weeks in Health, we have been learning more about drugs, our learning objective was to understand what the influences and consequences of drug use are. After finishing most of the activities on the slide we were required to do a research assessment on a drug of our choice. 

We had to include the influences and consequences an individual might have when they have taken drugs. 

The Skeletal System | Health

Hi everyone! Welcome to another post, for the past few weeks in health we have been working on a research topic called revelation. For this research topic, we had to choose from a range of health-related topics and conduct research about it. 

After choosing a topic to research about we had to choose/create some 5 questions that revolve around that topic, to answer. In those questions, we had to include one about the Values and Attitudes of people towards that particular topic. Finally, we then get to decide on how we present our work, I decided to present my work on a Prezi.

Emotional Regulation | Health

Hi everyone! Welcome to another post, for the past two weeks our class has been working on some topics about mental health. We had the choice to do research on different topics of mental health. We were allowed to do as many topics as we want but we must have 2 main topics that we think were good enough to be marked. The first topic I chose was Emotional Regulation and I chose to present my work using Canva.

Health : Discovery - Schizophrenia

Hi everyone! Welcome to another post. For the past few weeks in health, we were working on our discovery topics where we get to research a topic of mental health and then do research about that kind of topic. Firstly we had to choose some big questions to answer that relates to our topic of mental health, then we had to research some information to answer the big questions we have chosen. The answers that we wrote had to be well thought out and the information has to include some key concepts we learned about this year. After that, we did some more research about some strategies to cope or cure that specific topic of mental health. While researching about it we also had to think about how we are going to present our work. Finally, after finishing all that work we had to post our research with our choice of presentation for our work. 

For this project, I decided to work in pairs, so I working with someone else. We decided to do our research on schizophrenia. Like the process above, we all did the same and things and wrote about schizophrenia. From there we then had to choose our choice of presentation, in other words, we needed to pick how to present the information we have gathered. 

Strategies and Choice of Presentation:

Artworks:

Hallucination

Schizophrenia was said to be a colourful type of mental health.

Strategy to cope with schizophrenia: Therapy/Doctor

Reflection: This project was really fun, and I got to learn more about something I didn't know about before. I am really proud of my friend and I's artworks. Next time I would include more about the key topics in the research.

What is the Whare Tapa Wha?

Hi everyone! Welcome to another post, today in Health we learned more about the Whare Tapa Wha and how our well being (Hauora) is doing. I hope you learn something and enjoy reading my post!

What is the Whare Tapa Wha?

It is the four walls of Hauora, they are interconnected and if one of the walls collapse of isn't doing well all four walls wouldn't be able to work as well. To sum it up it is the house of health, called the Whare Tapa Wha.

How did I participate in this lesson?

I participated well and contributed by finishing my work and listing down how well my well being is. Next time I will try to make my work better.

What is the current state of my Hauora?

My Hauora is well, all are stable, but I know I need to work off my Taha Whānau.

This is the work I did. It was listing down all the things that I do to help my well being.
