why is being outside important

For literacy we have been practising how to write a explanation because we have to do a Eastle, an Eastle is when you have to write an explanation in 45 mins. first we made a plan of what we were doing then we wrote the introduction after that we wrote the three paragraphs finally we wrote the conclusion.

Why it is important to spend time outside

Have you ever ran around a forest or went on a bike ride? They are both important because it keeps you fit and it’s good for your body and if you’re running around you won’t be on your devices and whilst you are running you will also get Vitamin D from the sunlight which is good for your body.

Firstly, Staying off devices is a good thing because then you can walk around in nature without a device, if you are on screens for too long you can suffer from losing eyesight, also you can interact with other people even if you say hi that still counts, sometimes you can make friends just by talking for a couple of minutes.

Furthermore, staying fit is essential because otherwise you might put on some weight, if you stay fit, it is bad to stay out of the sun vitamin D because you probably look at a device in a dark room even if a small amount of screens will be bad and then you  won’t have as good eyesight as before. Even working out at home is good but sometimes you need Vitamin D

Finally, Vitamin D is very important because it makes your bones hard and if you lack vitamin D it makes your bones go soft and you can get rickets. To get Vitamin D you need to go outside in the sun and the sun’s light causes people outside to get Vitamin D.

To sum up, balance your screen time with going out in nature, make sure to stay fit and get as much Vitamin D as possible. Just be healthy. Go outside on a walk today and get Vitamin D,  stay fit and interact with others and maybe make friends.

We have been learning about explanation writing, explanation which means that you need to have, a beginning a main body a end and a conclusion, you also need facts and no opinion.

How to be a good dog owner.
Have you ever wondered if you’re a good dog owner? Do you think you’re the best you can be? Dogs are important because they entertain you, they help calm you when you’re stressed and more.

Did you know that dogs only have around 1 cup of food for breakfast and dinner? Even big dogs don’t have much food but small dogs have like half a cup. Depending on the breed of dogs is their attitude, how much they eat and how much they sleep. 

How much time are you with your dog? The longer the better otherwise the dog gets bored if you’re not there to play with them. Dogs need attention because they will feel secure and connected.

Did you know sometimes whilst you’re trying to train your dog they don’t want to so they don’t listen to you and sometimes you have to persuade them with a treat. If that doesn’t work then you might need to get a dog trainer. Some tricks you can  train them easily are fetch, sit and wait. Some harder ones are up (jump), paw and roll over.

So to sum up, to be a good dog owner you need to know how much to feed because then they get fed right, how much time you are with them so they feel connected and tricks to have fun.
