DARE: Alcohol - Facts
Today we were learning about Alcohol and the consequences. We teamed up and told the class about different facts and advice. After each group, we brainstormed ideas and facts that we learnt. Some facts that room 23 learnt are:
- 100 mls of wine takes 1hr to dilute out of your body.
- Alcohol dehydrates your body
- Slows down recovery and injuries.
- Die from alcohol poisoning
- Causes stomach, breast, liver, and brain cancer.
At the end of the session we played a game were we lined up in two lines and someone would walk down he middle. All of us would then whisper a quote like- Stay Strong.. It was very creepy but the point was that you should listen to the little voice in your head.

Today Comstable Julie came in to talk to us about drugs. She helped us learn that drugs are not ok.
We read the definition on drugs that most of as didn't understand so we took some steps to find out what it meant.
We put all the drugs into 5 groups and found out what they do. Next we gave some examples of stuff we need to live. After we stated drugs we need to live. We next found out what some words meant.
Next we played a game and found out how much we a know about drugs.

The Evolution of the Telephone
Over the past few days we have been studying the evolution of the telephone. One of the things we had to do was come up with the latest generation of the phone. We had to draw our phone and we had to come up with the features (new features and innovations), the purpose (who it was directed at), what accessories it came with and the price.
Watch this space for phone ideas once we are finished.

Plan your strategies
Today constable Julie came to room 23 for our second DARE (Drugs Abuse Resistance Education).
First of all we talked about strategies for different problems such as what to do if I have a headache, feel worthless or my friend is taking drugs.
Then we started talking about how friends can effect the game of life and what qualities a good friend has. "Like attracts like!"
Afterwards we started to talk about why young people start using drugs. We got some EXCUSES such as being depressed, peer pressure, being curious or NOT THINKING!
Next we played a game called "beep". In this game we had to get everyone across a maze of squares without touching any bad squares and learn from our mistakes.
We learnt to make strategies and thank constable Julie for taking time to come to room 23.
