The secret of chocolate !!!

I am learning how to: Write to persuade others supporting my key ideas with evidence.

Hey are you someone that is addicted to chocolate?
Well you are about to find out what is in chocolate.


Some people see chocolate as a healthy snack but it can increase your weight and raise your sugar level!!!


First, chocolate has a lot of sugar “ example” if a pregnant woman was eating a lot of chocolate the baby and the mother might get diabetes at the same time.


Second, chocolate has a lot of calories and sugar and that sugar can give you tooth decay and sometimes headache


Third, chocolate is very yummy and it attract people  like me it is an enemy to you and your body if you wanted to lose weight then you should not eat chocolate everyday or every hour.


Chocolate can give you diabetes and who knows you might die. Chocolate is actually made out of cocoa. If chocolate is made from milk isn't that both good and bad for you? Its a source of calcium but not in sunny afternoons.












Mathematical walk in Panmure!

Today we aLim kids, (Tricia, Naanise, Asia, Agnes, Frankie, Ethan, Kryzjon, Erastus and I) went for a mathematical discovery walk out in Panmure. We saw shapes,tessellating patterns on floors,  numbers on the buses and prices on food. We took photos of stuff like the phone box, bank and the map of the world. 

We went to Settlers Tours a place where you go and pay or book a flight fare to go somewhere like Fiji. A nice travel agent named Pauline (my aunt) was very nice and answered all the questions we asked her. She told us the price  for our age like for instance when you're 12 and 13 you have to pay the adult price and when your 11 you have 75 percent off the adult price. 

We were talking about the exchange rate and the transfer. A transfer is when you hop into a plane to go to Samoa and when you get there you hop on to another plane.  Pauline taught me a lot of things about the airlines and being a travel agent and other stuff like when you book a flight and the next day you come in and say I want to cancel my flight but then you are in the dead zone at the same time because you can’t get your money back. 

Pauline also mentioned about being a travel agent and how important it is to be good at maths like in your multiplication, geometry, subtraction,fractions, addition,division and percentages. When Pauline was telling us about being an travel agent it made think that perhaps I might like to be a travel agent  in the future.

Dogs


Wednesday 29  when I was playing outside with a couple of friends we saw some little kids getting chased by a dog it was very terrifying and scary for those who were getting chased some of them were screaming and crying. One of my older friends ran up to help them well some of us stayed back. So he help them took the dog back to it’s home and told the owner everything and told the owner to chain their dog up. the owner said that he is sorry and apologise to the kids then  everything was okay. I think that dogs should be chained up and the owners should train their dogs to be calm not ruff when little kids walk by to go school or to come home, go to the shops or anywhere else.

First little kids might get attack, hurt, injured and might die. It makes it hard seeing people going to the hospital or might a very bad disease that can stop them from going to work, playing their favourite sport and many other things.

Second is very important to the kids when a vicious dog like a pitbull attack a kid it can stop them from going school playing sports like swimming, rugby, basketball  and  soccer. By us people that have dogs should train them to become calm not ruff when they see people that they don’t know. The more that they get abuse they get more aggressive.

Third, there are many other stuff to do before getting a bad disease  or get bitten in a bad place.  example maybe there might be a robber in your house but you cannot move because you bitten from the dog.

It’s very important that dogs are always supervised.  we all know that dogs sometime cannot control themselves or they just want to play around with you
