Resting heart rate


Resting heart rate 

A normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. Generally, a lower heart rate at rest implies more efficient heart function and better cardiovascular fitness. For example, a well-trained athlete might have a normal resting heart rate closer to 40 beats per minute.Children 3 to 4 years old: 80 to 120 beats per minute. Children 5 to 6 years old: 75 to 115 beats per minute. Children 7 to 9 years old: 70 to 110 beats per minute. Children 10 years and older, and adults (including seniors): 60 to 100 beats per minute.

Why Study History?

Hurumanu 1 Blog Post   - Why Study History?



Studying history is important because it's important to learn about the past and mistakes that were made. Three Historic events I am familiar with in Aotearoa  are Treaty of Waitangi, Matariki and Musket wars. More recent events that have happened in our country are Mosque shootings, Covid - 19 and Earthquakes.

We are listening to chapters from Gavin Bishop’s book ‘Piano Rock’.
He says he values his heritage because his mum’s dad was Tainui, from Waikato.

' It’s enormously important and it’s been a source of inspiration and ideas,
thinking about what life must have been like for my grandfather and his siblings.'
