Taste Test

 In reading we did a taste test. Here are my results:

Coffee- bitter-bad

Lemon-sour-bad

Honey-sweet-good

Ham-umami-good

Chips-salty-good

How taste buds work: when food touches your tongue the taste buds pick up the flavour and tells you what to taste but the reason that everyone has different liking is because of the way that they read the flavour.

My best friend is Sophia Tompson.

She has straight shoulder length blonde hair, little brown freckles and piercing blue eyes.

Sophia T loves nature, cats and dragons. She has a little brother called william who loves cars. She is so funny!

Sophia takes ballet class so she is graceful and she watches her Dad play soccer. She goes hiking with me.

So she is my best friend because we have so much in common, even first names!

Poākai

In writing we were learning about legends and this is a story that I retoled please comment!

Poākai The Glutton 

Mt Torlesse was the tallest Mountain in the Canterbury  plains and on the peak was the nest of poākai, a giant bird he could see for miles and like all the others he  craved the flesh of man.

In the pā down below Mt Torlesse the people were trouble hunters that were going out to collect food didn’t come back and the people began to starve.

Luckily a man called Ruru had a plan but it would be risking his life and the lives of the forty others that agreed. So when night fell they left the pā and started building a giant cage though they only could work at night the cage was soon finished.

Before dawn Ruru crept out and stood in clear sight of the nest when he saw poākai swooping down towards him he ran he ran for his life and he just made it as poākai landed on top of the cage furious that he couldn’t catch his prey he stuck his leg into the cage and killed some men before they hacked off his leg enraged he stuck his other leg but they hacked it off to then he stuck his wing in and they hacked it off then did the same with his other wing then Ruru rushed out and clubbed the helpless bird to death.

Ruru and the others decided that they must locate the nest and destroy any little ones in the nest so they hiked up the mountain and brutally murdered his little ones.
