In reading this week we have been researching more information about ice-cream so we can prepare for our speeches at our "Trade Fair." We have been reading an article in an Air New Zealand flight magazine about a company called "New Zealand Natural Ice Cream." We had one main reader and we each had our own work sheet to complete so we had to co-operate to make sure we all found out the information we needed. Some of the information was right there in the text but some was hidden. We had to really think hard about some questions because we had to work on things we already knew. We used all of our reading strategies and our co-operative working skills.We found out that ice-cream companies love it when airline companies buy their ice-cream. It's good advertising. The passengers will buy the ice-cream when they get home. New Zealand Natural ice-cream has won gold medals. Sometimes the food technologists design a flavour that's good and sometimes it's not successful. Coconut flavour was not successful because it was too white.
