Our goal world wide is to ensure healthy lives to promote good well being for all at all ages. Why? Because ensuring healthy lives and promoting good well being is important to those building prosperous societies. But COVID-19 pandemic has devastated health systems globally and threatens already achieved health outcomes.

Health and well being

 Hi welcome back to my blog. This week we had to carry on writing our speech. 

This is my speech so far!

You'll be heartbroken to hear that more than more than 54 million people died in 2015 due to poor health and well being. I'm here to talk to you about children's health. 

All the people in our hub has made it past the age of 5, which is very normal in this country and we take it for granted 

What I think/feel about the subject of well being and health I think it's quite sad that there are unfortunate people that aren't as lucky as us and that they can't have their own checkups because they might not have enough money to sustain their family which means they can't have their check ups. I think if this carries on more and more people will suffer from losing their loved ones and losing their lives. Every 2 seconds grownups the age of 30 to 70 yrs old die of many diseases  . 19.4 million kids did not receive essential vaccines during their first year of life

Should kids have junk food?

 Hi, welcome back to my blog. This week for reading we had to chose a text and make a screencasify with a buddy. I made my screencastify with Ruby, we talked about 'why kids shouldn't have junk food' we both agreed and disagreed. we think that kids should have junk food but not a big amount of it but we disagree as well because we know what happens when you eat to much junk food. Junk food doesn't have a big amount of minerals and important things that your body needs but junk find has lots of salts, grease, oils and more

Speech Planning 

Statistics 

Less than 17,000 children die a day and 6 million children die before their 6th birthday a year. Since 2000, measles vaccines have averted nearly 15.6 million deaths. Children born into poverty are almost twice as likely to die before the age of five as those from wealthier families. Children of educated mothers—even mothers with only primary schooling—are more likely to survive than children of mothers with no education. Despite determined global progress, an increasing proportion of child deaths are in sub-Saharan Africa and Southern Asia. Four out of every five deaths of children under age five occur in these regions.Maternal health

“Hi, We are from the girls scouts and we are selling some biscuits. Would you like to buy some?”the girls said. 

“Of course I'll buy some, what do I need to do?”she asked.

”Oh well that's easy”she said, signing the paper*.“So girls how has school been?” she asked 

“Good thank you” the girls replied.
