Reading

 For reading this week we had to create a poster about growth mindset. We had to pick someone who showed a growth mindset. I picked Walt Disney. He went through a lot of roadblocks. He had to try and submit mickey mouse 300 times before one editor said yes. I have then said what a mindset is and the two different mindsets. Here is my poster enjoy.


Do you know anyone that has showed perseverance and a growth mindset?

Straws invented that stop hiccups.

 Hello everyone this bog post is about different Genres finding shapes and making a better title. We had to choose three articles to write about.

 Straws Invented that stop hiccups-Genre Interesting Article                                                                             My Thoughts on this Article                                                                                                                       This would be such a great Idea but they are a lot of money just to buy 1 straw. It would be very useful when you needed them. This article interested me the most because of the title and what it was about. Who would pay that much money for a straw that stops hiccups it is a good idea but to much Money.

Words best Water goes to Australian town - International                                                                                My thoughts on this Article                                                                                                                         This Article caught my eye because of the title. I wonder if it really is the best water in the world. If it is I wonder why it was given to an Australian town. I mean it would problem be great to have the beast water in the world but then again water is water in the end. 

Worlds largest suspension bridge- interesting Article                                                                                            My thoughts on  this article                                                                                                                                 This is so cool. Imagine you walked on the longest suspension bridge in the world. It would  be quite scary though.I wonder if it shakes. I mean imagine how high up you would be. If you had a fear of heights it wouldn't be good at all. I wonder how long it is.

What is your favourite Article?

5 senses reading

 Reading Goal: L4 visualise using all of the senses, and talk about how this enriches meaning. This week for reading we had to listen to a story about matariki and spot the 5 senses. The 5 senses are Tasting, Touching , Smelling , Seeing, Hearing. We then had create a story that had to be 100 words or less. The story had to be about every day things such as brushing your teeth or waking up in the morning. I did my story about cooking dinner because I love to cook. Here is my story enjoy.

As I cook dinner the sound of the oil sizzles and splashes as the pan gets hotter. When the oil dances I add my ingredients, and spices. The spices and the oil mix together and create a beautiful aroma of smells waft through the kitchen. I see the pasta slowly getting covered in the yummy sauce just waiting to be eaten. As I dish it onto my plate and start to eat. The pasta  touches my tongue. I taste all of the beautiful spices and yummy sauce that give it flavour. It’s warmth rushes through my body Yum.

Can you spot the 5 senses?
