Sugar Writing

WALT: Inform 

Sugar

Do you have sugar in your coffee every morning? How many teaspoons do you have? To many? Well that's not good. It's even worse when your kids are having to much sugar. Sugar is bad, & when I say bad I meen really bad. And when I say really bad I meen really really bad! 

Do you know how bad sugar is? Sugar is what puts holes in your teeth, Which is later to be treated by being pulled out. How would  you feel if you were a 2 or 3 year old that had false teeth because your parents fed you too much junk food. 

You do not know how much sugar is in food & drinks until you see it being made. Trust me you do not want to see it either! Here's an example, Baked Beans. Do you eat baked beans? Good, who doesn't. Would you think baked beans has sugar in it? No, didn't thinks so. Well guess what. It has heaps of sugar in it! A typical serving has about 15g of sugar. That's terrible isn't it. Are you scared of eating baked beans now? 

Well don't worry sugar is in almost everything. Tomato sauce has heaps of sugar as well and everyone loves tomato sauce for like hot chips and stuff. Has this writing got you thinking about what you have been eating? Well to find out what is in your food just look at the back and it will say ingredients. Then find what you want to know in that column. Did you know that sugar is killing thousands of people a day & by the looks of how much sugar is in all our food you might be one if those people too when your older.

 But don't worry, If you only eat about 1 un healthy food a day that's small you will be fine but just make sure you stay healthy and don't eat much sugar! Make sure you don't feed your kids much sugar either because if they have too much they will need to get their teeth pulled out and kids can't handle having teeth pulled out unless their really tough. Remember, Make sure you don't have too much sugar.

The Final Chance

Purpose: To share our experiences about a time we felt nervous, exhausted or angry.

WALT: Entertain (recount)

Task: To write a recount based on an experience.

The room was drowsy like everyone was tongue tied. The music started then glitched out. I was last to compete. I can hear my friends voices cheering me on. I can't turn to look, I have to concentrate. The music restarted and I was NOT confident! " Go Georgia." I can hear. A little smirk appears on my face just as the music starts.

I finish my flick flacks and I am facing mum. She is recording. She stops recording and all I hear is the music and the light whispers fading away. I feel sweaty but I'm not sweaty I'm just nervous. Smile, I say to myself. I'm finally lost in the music. I feel upbeat. I feel brave. I feel hot, I'm frying like a pan! Is it me or is it boiling in here? No of course it isn't me. Oh and I know I'm doing dreadful! Right now, I'm doing my last dance before the music ends.

I  present to the judges with a BIG smile on my face. As soon as I turn that all changed. Tears come bursting out like a firework. Could I feel any worse after my terrible floor. My score comes out and I gaze up like a shining star. My mouth opens & I see mum calculate my score but I see no signs of fail or pass. She lip sinks 50! Yay I'm going to step 5!

Hiwi The Kiwi

Hey You, Yes You! Listen Up. Did you know nearly 88% of New Zealanders eat fish almost every month? Well, Yes it is healthy so it's a good thing. But ( Yes It's wow there's a bad *But to this story)  What if I told you fish could be extinct by the time your grandchildren are born. WOW! It's because people have been braking  the law/ Fishing Rules & it is unfair isn't it. So if you want to know the rules than keep reading to find out...

Fish N Chips are a New Zealand food, right?  Imagine if it was just Chips, No fish just boring old yum chips. What would we New Zealanders be known for? The country with no fish. Terrible wouldn't it!

So here are the most important rules for fishers. Remember always put the to big and the to small fish back! You ask why? Well I will tell you why. The small fish need to grow because they will never be able to live there life or have babies for us to eat when they grow.  Not Good. Are you wondering about the big fish? I could sing you a song about why but, I'm not in the mood. Anyway you put the biggies back because they, could, have, babies & you wouldn't want to break  both fishing laws would you? Also you would be a piggies eating that much would. Aye?

Also, when your fishing you need a wet towel & when I say need I mean NEED! Imagine if you picked up a fish & it was under size. You would make its protection scales fall off. So that's why you NEED a wet towel. Oh I almost forgot, Make sure you have salt water to keep it fresh. Never use normal water on a salt water fish!

Now that you know couple of fishing rules. If you ever see someone doing the wrong thing, tell them off! Oh and don't worry I will be there too with my new fishing rod as soon as I win it. I can help you tell everyone the fishing rules.  

What Colour Would You Choose

What Colour Would You Choose? Green, Purple, Yellow,Red & Blue.

I would defiantly choose blue, The Awesome Colour Of the Sky.If you only had one Pencil that was blue you could draw an amazing picture of the sky. 

Red is the colour of fire and fire can harm you. For example volcanos & Fire can burn you and put you in Hospital.

Why shouldn't blue be your favourite colour? Its is an awesome colour you can use it for all sorts of learning.

Blue Blue Blue, Blue should Defiantly Be Your Favourite Colour!!!

Water Colours

The Water Colour Makers.

W.A.L.T: Observe like scientist.

I stared at the round white circle wondering how I was going to make that. All of a sudden I found a interesting pattern. For some strange reason there were bumpy crackly  peaces on the inside. I noticed it had some tiny circles on the top like the chalk we observed in See Think Wonder. The water colour had some unfamiliar cracks.

The liquid turns into a solid over night!!! The solid turns back into a liquid because you are supposed to put water it so it turns into a WATER colour. The water evaporates  and it turns back into a solid. The white colours  do not work white paper like someone trying to carry water in a bucket with holes in it.

We had to research it so we would happily be able

to A+ it. We wrote down what everyone was going to bring. “Ok You bring that you bring this you bring this and I will bring that, Ok? I thought it was going to work,  But nope it failed. ,MASSIVELY!!! One of the weird ingredients was honey. What would that do to it? It may have failed but that doesn't mean you cant use it.  

There went many colours but I used them anyway. I started to copy  my other art. My paint brush briskly ran a line down the page. It looked a bit colourless so I went over it. My class went to the library to  calmly work so I went back to class so I could finish.  I think that next time we should use a lot less vinegar.

The Dark Side

Trapped Under a big wave, Not again I thought to myself in shock. “Help mum” I screamed at the top of my lungs. Oh no not again, Another massive scary wave was coming. I better hold my breath AGAIN. Luckily I was wearing my best Friend, My life Jacket.

Awkwardly I tried swimming away from the rip but sadly Failing. Amazingly I was brave and did not panik. :)

“Help” I anxiously said. A brave lady in her 20’s came over grabbed my arm and pulled me towards mum. She showed great Kotahitanga.

Thankfully I Said “ Thanks A lot.” “Thats Ok” She Replied.She should be so proud. I thought to myself.

I walked up the smooth smooshy sand.I looked back behind myself  at the beach that can either be a gloomy beach or a dark beach like a dark clown watching over you like the Mona Lisa.

Taste Buds Writing

“Different taste buds identify different types of food”

Yesterday in class we did a little experiment about your taste buds 

If your wandering what taste buds are they are tiny little pink things on your tongue that make your tongue.Did you know that there are about 10,000 taste buds on your tongue?

First we tried a peace of cheese, They were chopped up in to little cubes so that everyone would get one. Kendall ( Teacher ) went around and everyone grabbed a peace of cheese. Oliver did’t know that you weren't siposed to eat it when you first got it so Kendal gave him another one. When Kendal let us eat it I put it in my mouth and rolled it around. Firstly I tASTED IT ON MY SWEET THEN WHEN I swallowed it it tasted like it was on the bitterer part of my tongue.

After  that we had a salty cracker, It was a hexagon shaped cracker. I then put it in my mouth and it tasted salty for me. But when I swallowed it it tasted sweet.

Thirdly we had some lemon-juice.

Everyone lined up and Kendall put a little bit of lemon juice on the palm of my hand. I tried  a IT of it without liking it. 

Last but least yuck the honey. 

I absolutely hate honey but I had to have a bit on my finger. Me, Aroha & maia all dislike honey so Kendall said,” Come on girls we will all try it on three.” When she got to three none of us had tried it but her. In the end we ended up washing our hands to get it of.

When we finished being scientists my favourite food over all was the............ Cracker.

The End

Taste Buds

These are the parts of your tongue that taste the foods your eating.  A receptor is a thing that sends the taste of your food to the brain. Here is an example: You might be eating a Lollie and your taste buds go thats sweet it sends the knowledge to your brain.
