bugs

Snap, crack, pop that's the sound of a bug being eaten. When people think of eating bugs they think “plaaaaa” but approximately 80% of people who tried them actually liked them. I believe that everyone should cook with insects. I wonder if you are part of that 80 percent. Most people are put off eating bugs because of their looks, but all that matters is what they taste like. Imagine when the first person ate a pig, people were probably screwing up their face, but they are actually full of iron and protein and so are bugs. If you have a craving for sweet food well you better read the next paragraph.




I bet you like lollipops and chocolate, but your parents always say that they are too sugary and you can't eat them. Well now your parents will agree with you, with insects. There are scorpion lollipops, mealworms fries, chocolate covered crickets and much more. They are extremely delicious and you can add them to your everyday snacks. Not only is eating with insects a tasty fun treat but it is also a very healthy option.



Beef, pork and lamb are all very high in protein, but if you're looking for something a bit more healthier and higher in protein then It should not be an apple a day keeps the doctor away but in my opinion, a bug a day keeps the doctor away! Did you know eggs have around the same amount of protein as a bug? But the best thing is they are lower in calories which means you can eat as much as you like without putting on weight. If you like cooking from places all around the world like Spain, India and Thailand you will definitely like bugs.




Sweet, sour, tangy, bitter and dry these are all flavors from different places around the world. Cake, tacos and caramel, these yummy foods can be made better for you by adding a nutritious bug. Take a trip to France for some grasshopper cake or to Mexico for wax worm tacos and carmel cricket cheesecake from London.


In conclusion, there are many reasons to cook with insects. As you can see insects are a great way to eat on the go and they are very tasty treats. Not only are these insects delicious but they are also a healthy option that you can snack on. Well, if you happen to stop in at Mexico and have some wax worm tacos. Eating insects will allow you to travel around the world each night as you taste exotic dishes from all around the world. This is why I strongly recommend that you cook with insects, enjoy and bug appetite.

level 3

prayers

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.

athlitics

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

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 Kauai Tree.

 

kapa haka

Mana, power and pride would be a few words to describe the feeling as the Good Shepherd School Kapa Haka group took the stage. During the weekend a large group of year 5 and 6 students took to the stage to perform at the Eden Albert Cultural Festival. There were a few nerves before we started but once we were underway the excitement of performing kicked in. We felt proud as a team to perform for so many people. Kia Kaha! The highlight of Kapa Haka for me was the getting a large candy floss as big as 2 of my heads

m&m challenge

Last Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday we did the M&M challenge. The class got into groups with one leader in each group. Miss Down gave us some M&M’s and we had to count how many we had and next figured how much M&M’s our group had. After we found out how many M&M’s we all had many people realised that some people had a very small amount of M&M’s while others had about 50. The next thing we did was counting how much of red we had then blue then yellow until we had finished alll the colours we had. When we did everything Miss Down told us to share all the M&M’s equally with our group and everyone in the class gott 41 M&M’s each! We have put our information on a poster.
