Descriptive Paragraph - Cupcakes

I was carefully mixing the special ingredients. Cocoa, Flour, Sugar and Eggs. I evenly spreaded the mixture into the cups then slid it into the oven. Minutes went by while I was anxiously waiting. At last I heard the bell ring. I knew it was time. I hurriedly ran to the oven and saw it. The beautiful cupcakes just waiting to be eaten, so soft, so moist. Carefully watching my hands I slid the tray out of the humid heat. I poked my knife into one of the mountain looking desserts. Perfect! Fluffy on the inside and crunchy on the outside was just what I needed. My fingers stroked the bumpy surface. The fragrance sent chills down my spine. I bit into what felt like a cloud. Melting in my mouth was the mixture of chocolate and chocolate. Delicioso!

Reading T3W8 - Thursday - Kupe and the Giant Octopus - Vocab

Maori Language Week - Kupe and the Giant Octopus

Protagonist is our word for the day. We had to read a Maori Myth and then write about the protagonist.

The protagonist in the story is Kupe. His role in the story is being the leader of his tribe.

He has black hair. Everyday his tribe men go out and fish for bait. One day a giant octopus invaded their land and ate up the seafood that Kupe and his men were supposed to catch. One day Kupe trapped the octopus and killed it for always eating their bait. In my opinion Kupe is mean but protective at the same time.
