Why you should eat breakfast

 I enjoyed speaking to the computer.The thing that was challenging was  editing the computers mistakes.I overcame it by speaking more slower.Our walt was to write a persuasive text.


I'm writing this text because kids and parents skip breakfast because there in a rush or think it is a way to be fit to skip breakfast. In fact it helps you be fit because when you skip breakfast you end up eating a lot more fat food.It also helps with energy and mood.

It's not healthy to skip breakfast because you're like a car,Breakfast is the fuel you need to get going again and you have been sleeping for 8 to 12 hours without food. It can also help you concentrate,Work, and  can help kids participate in physical activities.

If you eat breakfast you can have energy which could last you the whole day but you should always have fibre in your breakfast and carbohydrates. Fibre to clean and keep your tummy full till lunch and if you don't eat fiber  you could become constipated.

When you don't eat breakfast your mood could drop to grumpy and no one likes it when you're grumpy avoid being grumpy by eating breakfast.

That's why I think you should eat breakfast. EAT BREAKFAST!

                          why earwigs are called earwigs

The name "earwig" is generally said to originate from an old European belief that earwigs crawl into people's ears and lay eggs in the brain. This etymology is given by the Oxford English Dictionary, which states unequivocally that the name is derived from Old English éare, "ear", and wicga, "insect", "from the notion that it penetrates into the head through the ear." Earwigs do tend to prefer being in hidden places, and this etymology parallels the unambiguous French name perce-oreille ("ear piercer"). Another hypothesis is that the word comes from the Late Latin auricula, owing to the ancient use of pulverized earwigs as medicine to treat diseases of the ear. A third explanation is that it is an alteration of "ear-wing", after the shape of the hind wings when unfolded.





Glossary: etymology=the study of the origin of words and the way in which their meanings have changed throughout history.
unequivocally = the study of the origin of words and the way in which their meanings have changed throughout history
unambiguous =not open to more than one interpretation.: "instructions should be unambiguous"

sound poem

SOUND POEM
Crunching ginger biscuits
Is like hearing soldiers tread
Running through the army
Ducking all their heads


Chewing an marshmallow
Is nowhere near as loud
Its softer then a speaker
With the cricket crowd

Biting some ice cream
Is like a shiver down your spine
I’d rather be at the beach
or swinging on a vine

Reading is so boring
Not a sound to hear
It’s like  they can't say anything
I would like to run in fear


A poem

A stranger called this morning
Dress all in black and grey
Put everything in a bag
And carried them away


The roaring of the car
The smashing of the bat
The swooshing of wind
And the scratching of the cat


The stopping of the bus
The clicking of the pen
The stomping of my dad
And the cluk cluk of the hen


The sniffing of a nose
The crunching of the leave
The howling of a wolf
The people yelling heeva

I chose this post because it was fun and I enjoyed it

ANZAC

Anzac poppy
small and sweet
It was there in world war one
under a tone of mud.
Fragile petals
red as blood
It was a wounded flood.
I chose this poem because I am proud of presenting this work to the word
