Story Board

 Today's blog is about a teacher who is no longer satisfied with her job because she is getting to old the job and has to wax her legs, thread the odd hair on her eyebrow and her straight her hair and it's in a poem, my favourite part of the poem is when she is talking about a plane crash that happened the day before and is comparing one of the parts from the plane crash in her job as a teacher. The part was she use to enjoy stuffing little heads full of information until they would burst like packed suitcases, after reading the poem we had to do answer 10 question from the poem after that we had to do a storyboard on which was our favourite part about the poem and mine was the plane crash here is a picture.

Basic Facts stage 8 timed

 Today's blog is about prototec and see if I have improved before and after the covid lockdown. The stage that I am currently at is stage 8 timed and on the first attempt of trying to get my highest it was had because I couldn't remember a lot of things in the third column with percentages, fractions and decimals and I need to learn my LCM ( Lowest Common Multiples ) also I forgot some of my factors. Below is how many I got right and my percentage.

we had to get ourselves ready like getting our aprons getting our washing equipment

ready and also washing our hands. After washing our hands we got our ingredients prepared 

Ms Hamer gave us a demonstration of what we should do with the chicken she 

prepared.

She told us  that she marinade the chopped up chicken in milk and a bit of lemon juice,

after that she dipped the chicken in the plain flower and then the beaten egg

last but not least bread crumbs but with the bread crumbs you can add any seasoning you 

like. After dipping our chicken in the flour, egg and bread crumbs we got our tray and put foil

over and sprayed the canola oil over it and placed our chicken on the tray. We left it in the oven for 10

minutes, after the 10 minutes we take it out and flip it and put it back in the oven. 

After cooking the chicken we took it out off the oven to let it cool down, then we took our 

lunch boxes to Ms Hamer to get our wedges after that we got our popcorn chicken and add our 

sauces and it was awesome.

New rotation - Tech Term 2

This week we have a new rotation at tech, my group and I are in the cooking class

with Mrs Hamer. On Tuesday at tech we made smoothies but first we had to sort out 

our groups for tech then we went to our classes, when we got to our classes we had to 

find a seat and go put our jumpers/jackets and lunch boxes away, Then grab a appren, wash 

our hands. Then grab dishwashing liquid a cloth, tea towel and a ajax spray bottle and 

put it on the window sill. 

Next we got our equipment. Equipment needed

a knife

a peeler  

chopping board

a blender

measuring cups

and a bowl for chopped fruit/vegetables.

Then we get the ingredients and cooking tools ready. After that we chopped, measured

and blended the ingredients together. After blending we had to pour our drinks 

into our plastic cups and if there were extra in the blender than we had to take a sip

of the smoothie from our cups and pour more until it's finished.  

The ingredients were

1 cup of milk

1/2 Tbsp of yogurt

1/2 a banana, peeled and chopped

1/2 a apple, peeled/not, cored and chopped

chopped spinach

ice cubes

honey/maple syrup

blend for a minute or 2

Before we could drink our smoothies we had to clean our cooking station and 

our dishes then we had to call Mrs Hamer so she can check our cooking and dishes 

after that she took our pictures and we drank our smoothies. It was fun and you should 

try it out.
