Write 3 sentences explaining something new you’ve learned from this reading.
I learnt that Advertisers tell lies like for example what if they said that chocolate was good for our brain now that is a lie
What i learnt about scientists was that they test like how Advertisers said that chocolate is good for our brain they experimented it and they said that it is unhealthy for our bodys
Advertisers convince people to buy things

Kia ora Daniella,
ReplyDeleteI'm Mark, a teacher working for the Summer Learning Journey you signed up for at the end of term. I just read this bog of yours and thought it was really cool. Did you hear about Ribena? They used to be a very popular drink in NZ and always said "Grapes have lots of Vitamin C" but in the end it turns out their drink did not have much vitamin C at all and they got in heaps of trouble. I don't think I've seen Ribena since I got back from overseas actually, I wonder if they still sell it.
I just thought I would remind you that the Summer Learning Journey still exists for you if you want something different to do during the holidays. There are loads of activities and learning opportunities about travel and the world if you are interested. The best part about it is that you get to choose what you learn. The second best part is that there are lots of interesting people commenting on everyone's posts!
Anyways, I hope you're having a wonderful holiday!
Kia Kaha,
Mark
