Food Technology - Savoury Bread Cases

Last Friday in Home Economics, we made some Savoury Bread Cases.

Ingredients:
Butter
White Bread
Brown Bread
Canned Spaghetti
Canned Beans
Grated Cheese

Equipment needed:
Cupcake pan
Bread knife
Small cutting knife
Cutting board


The first thing that we did was to get the bread, we all got two each, one white bread and one brown bread. What we had to do was to cut the sides off, put some butter on one side of it using the bread knife, put the side that had butter on the cupcake pan carefully without pressing the centre of the bread too much. The next thing that we had to do was to put it in the oven for 5 minutes to let it set and for it to be able to hold it's shape. If you are wondering, the oven was set on fan bake and the temperature was 180 Celsius.

While we wait for 5 minutes, we prepared the ingredients that we are going to put on the middle of the bread. We placed each toppings on different small bowls. The different toppings that we had were some canned spaghetti, canned beans, and some grated cheese.

After 5 minutes, we took the bread out from the oven and started placing all the different ingredients on the middle of the bread. After that, we placed it right back to the oven to cook for just about 10 to 15 minutes. One of my teammates started washing while all of us started doing all the other cleaning things that was also needed to be done.

Finally, the bread was finally finished! We got to eat it outside that classroom because we still got a bit more time and finished earlier than we thought we would, especially because it was the first cooking session for Home Technology. The outside of the bread was really crunchy while the middle was so chewy and also had a lot of flavours.   

Food Technology

Today in Food Technology, we had a tour in our kitchen that were going to be working on for two terms. What we had to do was to list all the equipment that was in the drawers and shelves.

First drawer:

The equipment that are in the first drawer are Spatula, Wooden spoons, Vegetable peelers and some Scissors.

Second drawer:

The equipment that are in the second drawer are Measuring spoons and cups and some Tongs. 

Third drawer:

The equipment that are in the third drawer are Wooden rolling pins, Whisk, Potato masher and some Cookie cutters.

Fourth drawer:

The equipment that are in the fourth drawer are just some Glass bowls.

Fifth drawer:

The things that are in the fifth drawer are the cleaning and washing related things and a container where you put the excess food away or a part of the food that has to be disposed. 

 

Sixth drawer: 

The equipment that are in the sixth drawer are just some stainless Pots ans Pans.

The last drawer underneath the Oven just has some Cupcake Pans.

I can't really remember all of the things that was in the shelves but that I remember seeing was some small and big Plates and a lot more things. 

PE Athletics

Today in PE, we are going to be learning how to throw a Discus and High Jump.

The first thing that we practised was the Discus. We got a Discus that weighted at least 1 kg and headed out in the field. We spread ourselves out in a line then started throwing the Discus in our teachers lead. Every time we throw the Discus, he tells us how we should hold it properly. I had lots of fun and also found out that I could throw it pretty far.

Then, the High Jump. We did a type of jump called Fosbury jump. It's when we land in our backs with our chin down and our legs and arms facing upwards. At first, I thought that I won't be able to do it but I was actually pretty good at it. I really enjoyed doing it.

I really enjoyed my PE session today!

300 Words Challenge - Writing

This week for period three, we had to write a story about something that happened. I decided to write about the Kids for Kids concert that I participated on. Here is my Writing:

Big Aroha Concert 

At the 5th of November, me and my friends went to a concert called “Kids for Kids Big Aroha Concert.” The whole choir group prepared and practiced for this most awaited concert. The choir practiced every Wednesday and memorised as much songs as we can. 

When there was only a week left before the concert, we had two practices. It was on Wednesday as normal and on Friday. Me  and my friends were really looking forward on going to the concert because we could just sing our hearts out and not mind what other people think. 

The time has finally come but before we go to the concert, we had a big rehearsal with the other schools that were going to perform with us. There was a lot of body movements and dances to do while we were singing. It looked really satisfying because everyone was doing the movements at the same time. 

When it was the last song, me and my friends was feeling sad because it was really fun even know it was not the real concert. We then went back to school and do the things that we usually do every Tuesday. 

In the evening, my mum dropped me off near my friend’s place and saw them walking to school. I got off the car and joined my friends. When we arrived at the meeting place, almost everyone was there except for us. We ate some fish and chips then played some board games. We then have to go to Horncastle Arena and go to our seats. 

We then sat on the bus and go on our phones then me and my friends started talking about the concert and how much happier we would be during the concert. We sat on the grass for a while and wait for the others to arrive. After sitting for about 30 minutes or so, we finally went in the Arena and sat in our seats. There was a lot of audience watching us but I’m pretty sure that they wouldn’t be able to see our face clearly. 

The concert finally started and I started to feel really hyped up. In the middle of the concert, people got their phones out and turned they’re flashlights on. It looked really beautiful because it was the first time I saw something like that ever in my life. 

At the last song, I really sang my heart out and didn’t really cared about what other people around me would say. My friends and I even cried a little bit because of the joy that we felt. It was really unbelievable and I still remember the things that happened. 

Sadly, the show was over. We felt a bit tired but still happy because we had the chance to be a part of something like that. We then went back to school and got picked up. 

Tane Mahuta - Gardening

This week for Tane Mahuta, we have made a lot of progress. The first time we went there, there was lots of tyres everywhere. Now, it looks like a mini farm (sort of). We have planted lots of Vegetables and Fruits. We also planted some plants. Anyways, we did some Weeding and loosen up some dirt so that we can plant even more Vegetables and Fruits. The things that we planted today were Carrots, Watermelon and Corn. It was a really busy hour and we really had to work hard. Anyways, that's all for today.

Japanese - About Me

This is one of a few projects that I've made in Japanese. This project is called Jikoshokai Blog. I wrote it down on my book then I went to the teacher and got it scanned for me to be able to publish it here on my blog.

This is what my one looks like:

Hope you like it!!

Tane Mahuta 

For this blog, I'm going to be talking about the things that we did in Tane Mahuta this week. 

As usual, my class go to Kiwi Kaha first before we go to the Garden to do some Gardening. I came to school a bit late because of the concert that me and some of my friends performed on. After the Kiwi Kaha, we walked to the back Garden. I didn't got change because I didn't bring my uniform.  Anyways, we just helped them pull the weeds of then it;s Morning Tea. 

After Morning Tea, we just continued pulling out weeds and digging long holes for the plants. The garden is looking good do far and I'm so excited to see the outcome. That's it for this week. Thank You!
