Christmas Craft

This year for Christmas, we are doing Christmas Craft in Room 6! Christmas Craft is when we make Christmas themed crafts. I am doing a mini Pine Cone Christmas Tree! It should look like this:

Memory Puzzle

In room 6 we have been doing our Memory Puzzles. It is a project where we personalize our on puzzle so that we can remember our year in room 6. Here is an example of the finished project:

Christmas cards

In Room Six, we have been making Christmas cards. On the front we used oil pastels and blended them to make a background. We then drew a Christmas Tree silhouette. The message inside says: "Dear Mum & Dad,
Merry Christmas! Thank you for always being there for me. May you enjoy Christmas till your hearts are content, and may you never be too old to search the skies for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve!"

Graduation

Last night 30 year sixes, (including two, who unfortunately, were absent) had their graduation ceremony.  And guess what, I am a year six! That means, that I am a 2018 graduate!

 

Algebra

In math we have been learning algebra. Algebra is when there is a number, replaced by a symbol in a math expression. For example:

χ= 33
2+χ=

2+33=35

Eating Edible Bugs

I am learning to persuade my audience using persuasive writing and emotive words.

Just imagine, hearing the satisfying crunch of chocolate covered crickets, the chocolatey coating melting away, revealing a scrumptious, healthy cricket! I strongly recommend, that you should start cooking with bugs, today! Usually, when someone hears of eating bugs, they think it’s disgusting, and simply trying to be polite, they just nod their heads and say, “Oh, that’s, nice.” But quietly convey to themself, “Eww! Disgusting!” But I assure you, you will like bugs, as have all your friends and companions, anyway you never know you don’t like something till you try it. Fun Fact! Did you know that 80% of all people who have tried bugs actually like them? There are many benefits to eating bugs, for example, bugs are healthy, you can cook creatively, and they are even better for the environment!

We all want a healthy choice of meals and often go to last resort (the veggies) which brings the family to those ear-shattering whines. But, what if you changed it up a bit, gave them a surprise? Consider bugs for your next healthy choice! Bugs give you a healthy, balanced diet with a good amount of fat and protein! All the vital amounts your body needs. Bugs contain a lot of nutrients and will add all the good stuff too your daily meals. They contain a lot of vitamins and are a healthy option, however, you have to cook them first, but don’t worry yourself, there are lots of creative ways to prepare bugs from cultures all over the world.

Have you run out of dinner ideas? Want to try something new? Want to get creative with a dinner from cultures all around the world? Well my recommendation is that you try bugs, today! With bugs you can cook creatively with cultures from China, Australia, Ireland, and more! Plus they are easy to cook and you can have them any time you want. Bug recipes include, scorpion lollipops, mealworm fries, green ants, and Grasshopper Cakes, these are all recipes from around the world that are easy to cook. Better yet, bugs are not just healthy and can be cooked with creatively, but they are better for the environment too!

Do you want to help save the world? Well of course you do so why not try a bug today!? Bugs are better for the environment in many ways, for example, bugs produce less greenhouse gasses than cows and other protein sources do. Bugs are just like your everyday healthy meals but are better for the environment. They don’t pollute the air, like cows, and sheep, with their greenhouse gasses which have caused a huge problem with our Ozone Layer. Instead they produce a lot less greenhouse gasses, which don’t pollute the environment at all! If we all start eating bugs, we will have less cows, sheep and pigs and that means less pollution in our environment! In my opinion, more bug eating, equals less pollution!

In conclusion, there are so many good reasons why you should eat insects. Insects are a great way to be healthy, cook creatively, and guess what. You help save the world at the same time! Did you know that 80% of all people who tried bugs like them! So I guarantee that you will like bugs as have all your friends and peers. Eating bugs is a great way to introduce different recipes from around the world to the family. I strongly recommend that you cook with bugs for three main reasons. One, bugs are super healthy; two, you can cook creatively; three, you can help save the world. Remember, you never know if you don’t like something till you try it!
