Chiropractors, Osteopathy and Sex... WHAT!

On 14th of May we had a Chiropractor come it to talk to us about the part of health. What he told us was that Chiropractors help people with there bones and help people with there posture.
People usually go to Chiropractors when they have back problems or any other problems

Then on the 15th of May and Osteopath came and talked to us. He told us that Osteopathy meant the study in bones. He also told us that Chiropody is a branch off Osteopathy, which I found an interesting fact. He also told us that osteopaths look at paitients as a whole not just the injury itself.

Then in This morning a Lady named Athy came and talked to us aboput sex, and how to have safe sex. Right through it I heard and saw many disturbing, but true, facts. I learnt many new things too. I think I have said enough about sex Ed.

At Home

I am at home right at the moment, sick. I am trying to gather information about Jessica Alba and Lleyton Hewitt but I really can not be bothered. Hope the others are doing well at school, and I hope that I can get some work done, but I do not feel up to it just yet. I hope I will be able to get back to school soon.

Kasun's Brian/yoga workshop Experience

On the 10/5 in period 1 and 2 I went to a brain workshop. In this workshop I, with my team-mates did a dicection of a Sheeps brain and we leart about what causes brain damage and what happens after people get brain damage and what impacts that they have on the lives. We also learnt about the different parts of the brain. I found these facts very interesting.

Them in period 5-6 we had a yoga workshop, in which we learnt forms of relaxation through breathing and different exercises. we were explained why yoga is practiesed and what it improves. This I found helpful and plan to use it to in the future.
