Room 6's Funky Seahorses

Posted by Ela T, Hannah-Mae on behalf of the Cherubs Reading Group

The Cherubs are one of Room Six's reading groups.  We have been busy researching facts and creating interesting ways to display information.  We decided to make mobiles with seahorses. We collected information through reading books and searching information about seahorses, we wrote a P.M.I (Positive, Minus and Interesting Chart) in our exercise books and we coloured and decorated seahorse templates. We then typed and printed out their key facts in our own words and stuck them on the back of the seahorses. The cherubs got cardboard tubes, wrapped them up in red and blue tissue paper. Finally they tied and glued string to the covered tubes and hung them up on display in room 6.

What is crunchy and is a tasty treat, that’s right insects. I am a world famous chef and I am going to show you the positives of why you must cook with insects. They are a healthy option, a tasty treat and they’re from all around the world

Insects are a healthy option to add to your diet. They have lots of vitamin c in them, they give you lots of energy and they are low on fat. You can eat them without feeling guilty, isn’t that a good thing if you want a tasty treat?        

There are some delicious recipes for cooking with insects if you want a tasty treat. You can fry them, bake them or even cover them in chocolate. There is cockroach stew and ants in vanilla ice cream. One other recipe is chocolate cake with spider sprinkles on top. There are lots more yummy recipes for your favourite treats so you should start cooking with insects

There are lots of different bugs from different places in the world and in some countries they are a delicacy. In France they eat snails and in Asia they eat scorpion lolly pops. I think that we should bring cooking with insects into New Zealand so that everyone can enjoy the yummy taste.

As you can see there are lots of reasons why you need to try cooking with insects. They are healthy for you there are some delicious recipes and they come for all over the world. That is why I strongly believe that you have got to try cooking with insects and your can add it to your diet.

Lent in room six

Lent is very important to us at Good Shepherd because we are a Catholic School. 

We learn about the bible stories around Lent. We also do role-plays about stories like the last supper. 

Most of the people in room six have given something up for lent, like a Nintendo or lollies. Some of us have decided to do something nice every day instead. We also do book work about Lent.
