I am learning to persuade my audience using persuasive writing and emotive words.
We all have a time that we are craving a tasty treat, so it’s silly not to cook with insects. Everyone should at least try cooking with insects once or twice. They are extremely tasty and you can make quick and easy snacks. We all do enjoy a treat or two, so why not include an INSECT TODAY!? You can have scorpion lollipops, mealworm fries, chocolate covered crickets, these are all exciting snacks that are easy to make and are very tasty, so why don’t you go and look for some yummy insect treats? Now to see why these insects are so healthy.
What is high in protein and full of vitamins and minerals? If you guessed fish, meat, eggs, seeds you would be correct but did you also know that insects are a great source of protein and vitamins too? A bug a day keeps the doctor away! Beetles, cockroaches and crickets are the healthiest bugs you can eat! Any type of insect generally has the same amount of protein as an egg (which is 6 grams of protein). But the best thing is that they are lower in calories (fat) which means you can eat as much as you like without putting on to much weight. Bugs are a healthy, nutritious treat but if you are still feeling creeped out about them you can try creating amazing meals with those bugs, and they can taste just as good as a Freddo Frog!
Donuts, cakes and cookies, what do these foods have in common? They all taste delicious and are most people's favorite food. These yummy foods can be made better for you and can still taste as good by adding a nutritious bug to the dish. Foods like this have been made around the world with bugs in them, such as cricket cookies, spider donuts and grasshopper cake. They are so tasty that you do not even notice you are eating a bug so not only are you getting the tasty treat but it becomes guilt free since it has the added nutrients from the bug. There are millions of tasty recipes that can make any bug taste like a five star hotel meal. An insect can be as good as a Cookie Time Cookie, Dunkin Donuts and The Cheesecake Shop.
So after hearing the reasons why bugs are great to eat, do you think you should try an insect? As you now know they are tasty, healthy and you can make many recipes from around the world. So my challenge for you is to try a insect today! Go get them!

Assembly
"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."
Week 5 was non stop for Room 6 with athletics, kapa haka and irish dancing. But it was also our final assembly for the year, and for some of us our final assembly at Good Shepherd School. This was the perfect time for us to share some of our talents and learning. We had been focusing on New Zealand music through our passport tasks so it was only fitting to pick a kiwi classic; Six Months in a Leaky Boat by Split Enz (written in 1982). We sung along to the words and put some of groovy moves together to create a dance. Throughout the year one of our favorite activities was reading Chris Gurney’s books during book week. Chris has written so many wonderful and humorous traditional tales with a kiwi voice. We absolutely adore her books, so for our assembly we presented a Readers Theater: Trev and the Kauri Tree.
This is our song:Six Months In a Leaky Boat

Athletics day
The harder the battle the sweeter the victory!
All of Good Shepherd School piled into buses as we headed to Three Kings Fields for the annual Athletics Day event. We had been training for weeks and we were ready to take on our peers and to compete for a placing. The events were running, long jump, high jump, discus and shot put. My favorite event was shoot put because I came second.

So will I
Week 5 and 6 were busy for Room 6 we presented our assembly in week 5 and had whole school prayers on Monday, Week 6. Our theme for prayers was community, compassion, and discipleship. This was inspired as we approach Christmas and start to think about others and those who are in need of help. Our Reading was 1 John 3:16-18, we also presented a song that we put lyrical dances moves to our song was: So will I, by Hillsong. This is the song: So will I
