🐛Nibbling on Crunchy Bugs🐛

I am learning to persuade my audience by writing a exposition

Feeling hungry? How about some spicy grasshoppers with a side of mealworm fries? The thought of consuming such a meal might turn your stomach, but the eating of insects is common across many areas of the globe, largely due to its nutritional benefits. I strongly think people should eat bugs.You might think bugs are just little animals that live on the ground and are absolutely the grossest thing ever, but did you know that 90% of people who try bugs actually enjoy them and start eating them more often? Farming contains lots of water 22,000 litres of water for cows, 3,500 litres for pigs, 2,300 litres of water for chickens and one litre for crickets. 80% of the world's nations eats insects, that is 1,000 species.

There is over 1,900 edible species of insects. In 2005 over two billion people eat insects worldwide. Human insect eating is common to cultures in most parts of the world. In the year 2050 approximately nine billion people will eat bugs all around the world. Today, insect eating is uncommon in North America and Europe, but insects remain a popular food elsewhere, and some companies are trying to introduce insects into western diets. Lots of places of the world eat bugs including China, Africa, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and some developing regions of Central and South America. All these countries are eating delicious bugs so you should try one yourself.

Eating bugs can change your life. Just eating a scorpion's tail will make you stronger. Eating bugs could combat obesity. Insects are considered highly nutritional. The majority of them are rich in protein, healthy fats, iron, calcium and low in carbohydrates. In fact insects are just as, if not more nutritious than commonly consumed meats, such as beef. Did you know that 100 grams of crickets is 121 calories, 12.9 grams of protein, 5.5 grams of good fat and 5.1 grams of carbohydrates? Insects are so beneficial that you should add them to your daily diet to help you grow healthy and strong.
If you are sick of eating the same bugs raw everyday you can search up online for recipes for bugs and there are loads of ideas like chirp cookies, scorpion lollipops, mealworm fries, chocolate covered crickets and so on. In many countries there are lots of different recipes around the world. There are thousands of ways to make a bug taste like a five star restaurant meal. There is outstanding recipes such as grasshopper cake and there is a gum made from spiders. Bugs are so tasty that if you put them in a meal you won't even know their there. So why not give it a try today?




In conclusion I think bugs are small but can do a huge difference if we eat them and if all of the people in the world ate bugs I think world hunger would disappear. Bugs might solve the obesity problem and give you a ton of protein so you get healthier by eating bugs. So if you see someone in a market selling them I encourage you to eat bugs.

Athletics

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 favourite event was high jump.

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 being the leader for the haka.

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 favourite activities was reading Chris Gurney’s books during book week. Chris has written so many wonderful and humourous traditional tales with a kiwi voice. We absolutely adore her books, so for our assembly we presented a Readers Theatre: Trev and the Kauri Tree.

Culture Festival

Next Saturday Good Shepherd school will be performing at the Eden Albert culture festival for most schools in Auckland will be performing and we will be doing three Maori songs and a Haka. we are doing Te Aroha, Hareruia, Himene mo te Hepara pai and the haka is tika tonu.

St Patrick

Our focus this term in Religious Education was the Communion of Saints. We learnt about the three parts of the Communion of Saints and how we are all connected. The Communion of Saints is bonded through prayer, baptism and the Eucharist.

Communion of Saints

We have been learning about that we are living saints. On all souls day we were learning about three Saints the living Saints on earth the Saints in purgatory and the Saints in heaven. In the picture we're all the Saints together but before be were separated into three groups living saints, purgatory and the saints in heaven.
