Is music good for your health

In my class we were learning to write persuasive writing.

I enjoyed writing and performing my speech.

I found it hard to think of 3 good reasons about my speech.

My digital learning shows I can use google docs and use online self assessment.


Is music good for your health ?   

Is music good for your health? I strongly believe that music is fantastic for your mental health because it can reduce anxiety, pain and helps with sadness. Music often can put people in a good mood and if you play an instrument it can be very therapeutic for your mind. I personally don't find anything better than listening or playing music.

Firstly, I strongly agree music is a great thing if you are feeling down. Music played by a piano makes you calm, changes your attitude and is soothing for the mind. Slow music is good for meditating and makes your breathing slow down which then slows down your heart. Music that is upbeat can put you in the groove and make you feel ready for your day. Rock music makes you let loose and go wild . Scientists have said that some music can even help with depression. It reduces muscle pain and it can control your mental health.

Secondly, Without a doubt music is good for you because it can make your brain stronger. Music can restore functions after very bad accidents like crashes. Music fixes the brain. Music can improve movement in patients that have had a stroke or people that have a type of disease. Music does way more than put people in good moods. It is a musical medicine.

Lastly, There is no question that  music can make you smarter. New research says if you regularly play an instrument it can change the shape and power of your brain because it makes you use both sides of your brain. If you play a guitar it can make your fingers very technical and if you play the drums you have to move your hands and feet at the same time to try and make a good beat and that can be very difficult.

In conclusion I have told you 3 reasons why music can help you. I personally think this is why you should play a musical instrument or listen to music more. When I am sad I go and play my guitar and it makes me feel way better.

Address the audience, Rhetorical questions and facts and opinions.

Goblin shark

Goblin shark is part of the mitsukurinidae family. They are known as deep sea meat eating monster when they are actually harmless. Their teeth are made for grabbing. Predators to them are other sharks but manly blue sharks.

Goblin sharks have soft, flabby and blade-like bodies. They have a long snout that looks like a piece of pallet wood. Goblin sharks are 3.8 meters long and can live up to 30-35 years. They have a bright blue color on the edge of their fin and have extremely sharp teeth.

The goblin shark lives in open oceans from near the surface to depths of at least 1300 meters deep. Scientists have said that goblin sharks only come near to shore at night but mostly stay in the deep water. They live in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and because the goblin shark lives so deep they have to eat other sharks and rays as well as crustaceans.

Goblin sharks use electro body organs to sense their food. Their mouth propales out then grabs their fish and swallows it whole. Just like other animals the goblin shark protects itself by camouflage. I think that goblin sharks are hideous creatures and that’s what makes them interesting to me.

Wetapunga

Classification 
Weta are part of the grasshopper family. They are the heaviest insect in New Zealand.Wetas are very heavy insects they weigh as much as a small bird.

Description
They have two main eyes that have lots of small dots inside of them. They weigh up to 70 grams. They have very good camo they can blend in with anything.

Location/habitat
Wetas were found in New Zealand and lots of them have died. They have been kept in New Zealand zoos so they can keep safe. Some wetas have been brought to plenty of islands were they can hide eat and drink water.

Dynamics
Wetas do massive poos that help the environment. When wetas loose antennas they grow new ones. Female wetas lay 6 eggs at once they take one month to hatch. Wetas molt 10 times in one and a half years.

These interesting creatures do not deserve to be extinct they deserve to be free. They may be creepy and crawly but they deserve the same respect as we do

Photo collage

At my school were are learning how to play rugby. I have improved in my passing and my side stepping. I really enjoyed it because we were learning new skills like side stepping, passing, communicating.

The school have let people come from turanga health come in and teach us. It doesn't just teach us rugby because the way they teach us to throw the ball it helps with other sports. We also learn rugby because it makes us stronger and healthy.

Them coming in and showing us how to play rugby is a pleasure. I really enjoyed learning how to play and its good for our fitness and health.

In my class we also learnt how to make a photo collage so that we don't have a long line of photos down our page. We had to make a background then we inserted photo of our choice. Then we had to crop them and try to fit them in. We also had to figure how to fit them all the photos in.
