Today we had a special talk about how our heart works by Mary- Anne was friends with Ms. Tapuke as Kiriwai Tapuke they were still friends since 1976 and they were friends when they were 5 years old. They were in room 23 Sunnynook primary school. They have been friends since they were little Mary - Anne is a Rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease. We were talking about how our heart goes and how fast it goes, then we started talking about how heart disease is different from the good heart it’s different heart disease is when your heart starts to stop and you get heart disease. In the middle, we started to ask Mary-Anne question about the tools for the doctors then we started asking questions like is a nurse the same as doctors she said no because nurse organizes the equipment for the patients they make sure it’s the right one for their patients. Doctors do different work they check on the people about the health of their hearts. We started to watch a video about how the heart works inside how it opens then close when the blood comes up when you are breathing. The heart muscle is special as it pumps blood around your body. The blood provides your body with oxygen and nutrients. If something is wrong with your heart it can affect other parts of your body. That's why it’s important to look after your heart and keep it healthy.
