The Inchape Rock

                       

This week, while both our teachers were off to Chicago, America for a conference we had Mr Johnson. We studied a old fashioned poetry called the Inchape Rock. We read all 17 verses and were to only pick one and make a DLO about and explain what the verse meant. I decided to choose verse 1. I decided to choose this verse because it starts off the poem with an interesting rhymes.

Today for reading we have been completing challenges that hep us work collaboratively in groups. Today for our reading task we have been learning information about M&M'S. Collaboratively means talking and communicating with others so that they understand that you have ideas to share to our challenges. Today for our M&M tasks we worked in a group to find out a lot of information about M&M's like who invented M&M'S. 2 facts that I found interesting was that peanut M&M's were invented in 1954 and over 400 million M&M's are made every day.

Today at tech i worked with Lyric to complete on how to bake chocolate muffins.The hardest thing to do making a Chocolate Muffin was to mix well because the flour would be lumpy if we didn't, and not to mix it too long because if we did the muffin's wouldn't puff up. At the end of the making the muffins, My partner Lyric and I manage to make a proper Chocolate Chip muffins. If I made these again I wouldn't change the ingredients because the muffins taste very nice and I wouldn't change the baking time because they rose nice.

The measurements:
1 1/2 cup of self rising flour                                            

1/2 a cup of milk
1/4 tsp of vanilla essence
1 egg

Equipment:
Teaspoon
scrapper
silver big bowl
and an oven...

Oven temper:
180 for 15 minutes.

Today was our first time cooking a savoury dish with Mrs Tuipolotu. Today Miki and I made twelve ham and cheese quiche. Firstly Miki cut the pastry into twelve and put them into a muffin tray, then  we diced the ham finely and added the grated cheese and the ham into our pastry. After that we whisked the eggs and milk then poured the liquid mixture over all the quiches. Lastly we set the temperature of the oven to 180 degrees and cooked it for 15 minutes. I really enjoyed cooking today because we are now cooking a variety of different cooking techniques and dishes. Ir was very hard because we were doing the ingredients, and trying to look at the oven so it will the right temperature. 

A slice of ham
Cheese (grated)
4 eggs
1/2 cup of milk.

Preheat the oven to 180
