WALT - identify key ideas of the text.

I think in this text it shows Overcoming Fears for the main character (Mana). It shows this key idea when he was about to start his swimming race because he was scared that he had butterflies that he will lose the race and not get his favourite food that the dad said he will cook for him for a year.

In one part of the story, it said "I've got butterflies in my stomach" as if he had a fixed mindset at losing the race but then his family and a growth mindset towards him winning the race then he felt the encouragement in him and took a deep breath and walked to the starting line to start the race.

Iron Tamariki, A text that was given out to the class to express the key ideas. The main idea my buddy and I came up with was overcoming fears.  in the text it shows overcoming fears before the race is about to start. character(Mana) had butterflies and wasn't sure about still doing the race. Also, at the beginning of the text it shows that mana is setting a fixed mindset by not training hard and giving up to do running training and swimming training. But at the end after the race started he showed a growth mindset by not giving up especially after his mum asked. "Are you sure you can do this IronMaori Tamaki thing"
