In health, we have been asked to do discovery tasks. I have chosen the topic of Vaping. for this I need to research my topic to answer some questions. We were asked to pic six questions about our topic and answer them. We had to come up with Strategies to help someone and then I made a picture collage relating to the topic.
Why do people vape? Vaping is cheaper than smoking and is easier to buy. It is only available for people over 18 to buy legally. This doesn’t stop young people from buying it. Some people think that vaping is cool or do it because their friends do it. Some people think that vaping is healthier than smoking cigarettes.
What are the dangers of vaping? Vaping is unhealthy for your lungs. It can cause lung disease and damage to them. It can cause breathing difficulties, coughing, heart attacks, seizures, cancer, and addiction. It can cause the same dangers as smoking.
Who do I know that vapes? I have family members and friends that vape. Some use to smoke now they vape.
How does vaping affect people? It can make them have shortness of breath, cough, headaches, bad breath, dry mouth. Vaping is less harmful than smoking, but still has risks. A second-hand vaper can have dangerous effects on others just like smoking. It is not good for young children or people with asthma.
When did vaping start? The first idea was made in 1927 by a man called Joesph Robinson, but it was first made by a Chinese pharmacist his name was Hon Lik he made it after his father died of lung cancer, and being a smoker himself wanted to try and quit.
Is vaping better than smoking? Vaping is not harmless as it still has the same risks but research shows it’s the healthier option as it reduces the risks. Personally, i think that both are as bad as each other.
At the moment we are studying the book the Cay. for this task we were asked to write about 3 characters points of view in the first five chapters
Mum's point of view - Her point of view is mainly based on her fear for her family and their future. She is scared and nervous about staying at Curacao. She looks for an excuse to leave. It doesn't help that she doesn't like living there, she cant stand the smell of the oil. She just wants her family to be safe and far away from Curacao. She just wants to protect Philip and take him somewhere else safe.
Philip's point of view - Philip is only 11 years old he has no idea of the dangers of what's really going on. He gets excited and is curious and asking his dad questions about what's going on. He feels like it's a bad dream but soon realizes it's not. He gets angry with his mum for wanting to leave and wants to stay with his dad, he doesn't want to leave his dad and friends behind. On the raft, he starts getting scared about everything and doesn't know where his parents are.
Timothy's point of view - Timothy is an old black man maybe in his sixties, He rescued Philip after the explosion. timothy has a lot of knowledge about all the islands as he traveled a lot. he tries his best to protect Philip from danger including the sun and water. Timothy hides his fear and stays very calm and gives Philip hope by keeping him safe. he does this by fishing for food, giving him water, and keeping him warm.

This music makes me feel like me sitting on the beach, listening to music with family and friends eating fish and chips. Seagulls hanging around trying to steal our food. It's a nice summer's day with the sun shining and the water so blue. my family and I are playing touch rugby along the waterfront. my dad and I are seeing who is the strongest by dunking each other into the waves. I love days like this bring on summer.
