//The Centaur strolled toward the dragons cave bravely in the moonlight. // //<span style="color: #ff005e; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">He could hear the dragons ferocious roar coming from the dark, misty cave.Clink, clonk. Gallooping along the musty sand. The dragons roar was getting louder.He had to defeat to defeat him and the wealth was his. Slash! He pulled out his sword, ready to fight! In a quick few stabs and swipes, the dragon was slayed. He lit a fire and the dragon burnt to ashes.He entered the castle, ready to live his wildest dreams. //

We had to write 2 stars and a wish. That means we had to write 2 things we thought // //<span style="color: #ff005e; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> they did well and 1 thing we think they could improve on. When we were finished we went onto our blog and commented on someones post. // //<span style="color: #ff005e; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Visit room 3's blog: www.weareroom3.blogspot.co.nz // //<span style="color: #ff005e; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Visit our blog: www.gbsroom1.blogspot.co.nz // //<span style="color: #ff005e; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Here's a story I posted on our blog: //

//<span style="color: #ff005e; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The flames are roaring all around me. I know it for sure, I suck at cooking. Sirens blaring in the distance. My family rushing for teddy bears and pearls. // //<span style="color: #ff005e; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">"There's no time for that!" I yell to them. I snatch their hands away at the last minute before they burn to ashes. That was close. Screams everywhere, // //<span style="color: #ff005e; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">smoke pouring down on us. //

//<span style="color: #ff005e; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">__Tuesday 24th April__ // =//<span style="color: #ff005e; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The Nervous System //=

**//<span style="color: #ff005e; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Introduction: //**
//<span style="color: #ff005e; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The Nervous System controls and co-ordinates the bodies activities and is made up of billions of linked Nerve Cells called Neurons. The Nervous System is made up of the Brain, Spinal Cord and the Peripheral Nervous System. We need the Nervous System to send messages to the brain and store important information. //

**//<span style="color: #ff005e; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Description Of Parts: //**
//<span style="color: #ff005e; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The Brain contains 100 billion Neurons and is the centre of the Nervous System. The Spinal Cord is connected to the Brain and consists of Spinal Nerves. The Peripheral Nervous System contains only Nerves and connects the Brain and Spinal Cord to the rest of your body. //

=
//<span style="color: #ff005e; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">First the Nervous System gathers information from the world and what it happening. Next the Nervous System sends the information to the Peripheral Nervous System. The Peripheral Nervous System sends the information to the Spinal Cord and the Spinal Cord uses the Spinal Nerves to transmit the information to the brain. Then the Brain sorts the information into two groups, important and unimportant information. It stores the important information and throws away the unimportant information. //====== //<span style="color: #ff005e; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The Nervous System contains different Nerves for different things. The Tibial Nerve supplies calf-muscles and helps the feet bend up and down. The Sciatic Nerve is the longest and the thickest Nerve in the body. It controls the muscles that bend the leg. The Radial Nerve controls the muscles that straighten the elbow. The Median Nerve and the Ulnar Nerve control the muscles that bend the wrist and fingers. The Cervical Plexus supplies Nerves to supply the Neck and Shoulders. The Common Perennial Nerve controls the lower leg muscles to lift the foot. //

**//<span style="color: #ff005e; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Conclusion: //**
//<span style="color: #ff005e; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The Nervous System helps control body functions like breathing and digestion. Without it we wouldn’t be able to live. The Nervous System works together with the other body systems to help you live and breathe. The Nervous System is an Organ System containing a network of cells. //

Today we learnt about __Getting Along With Others & Not Judging people by their appearance__. // //<span style="color: #ff005e; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Not __Judging people__ by their appearance is looking on the inside of people and getting along with them no matter what their appearance.

First we went on the bus to the Otago Museum to have our free time. The people at the// <span style="color: #ff005e; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">//Museum gave us a Scavenger Hunt for around the Museum. My group only solved one of the questions. After our free time we walked down to the Anatomy// <span style="color: #ff005e; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">//Museum at the Medical School. We got to hold a real human Brain, Heart & Lung! The Lung had some black on it because the Lung belonged to someone who smoked.// <span style="color: #ff005e; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">//Then we had a look around at all the parts and bones. Only one of the skeletons was plastic. The rest were real!// //When we finished we walked back down to the// <span style="color: #ff005e; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> //Otago Museum to have lunch. When we finished lunch we headed down to Discovery World. Someone taught us about the senses. We did an experiment with Jelly// <span style="color: #ff005e; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">//Beans but we weren't allowed to use black Jelly Beans. Did you know that Jelly Beans actually don't have a flavor? Only the black ones do. That why couldn't// <span style="color: #ff005e; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">//use them. When held our noses and put a Jelly Bean in our mouths. We think they have a flavor but that's just the fragrance. When you hold your nose and suck// <span style="color: #ff005e; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">//a Jelly Bean it has no flavor. But when you let go of your nose it has a flavor because of the fragrance. We learnt about the Digestive System and how it works.//
