Food-Tech Basic-Sponge

Today at food tech me and my cooking partner made Basic Sponge.
The recipe was almost the same as the Dutch Apple Cake we made last week.
After we had made our mixture we put the mixture in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius, and waited for about 20-25 minutes.
Once the Sponge looked golden brown we took it out and put a knife in the middle of the Sponge to see if it was cooked and for the 3rd knife poke it was.
after we had cleaned up the small amount of mess that we had on our work bench me and my cooking partner cut the Sponge into quarters and took 2 each and then we wrapped them up in tin foil. Lastly we cleaned the baking tray and indulged in what we had made.

My World War 1 Inquiry Project Presentation

This term we learned about World War 1 and the 100th year of the ANZAC. The school commemorated the centenary year with an emotional remembrance day "Lest we forget." This is when I decided to inquire into what happened in World War 1.

My peers and I did our inquiry projects around this theme. I researched information about WW1, processed the information, used relevant facts and suitable images to produce this movie. I storyboarded my ideas and facts, and then found suitable images to relate to and support my facts. 

I enjoyed learning about the war, creating my movie and sharing it with the rest of the world. I wish to acknowledge the user friendly BBC Schools - World War One website I found very useful for facts and images about some aspects of war. 

Please watch the movie and leave a comment. Thanks

Early Childhood Center.

Today my class and I went to the new Glenbrae kids early childhood center that has been built next to our school. First we went to our school library and got some baby books, we chose a song to sing and walked next door to the child hood center, We took of our shoes and sat down on the mat that they had there. Once the lady in-charge introduced her self we stood up and sang if your'e happy and you know it. Once we finished our song we got to choose a child to read and play with. me and my friend choose a boy named Lucas, we read a book and played some games with him. After half an hour we sat on the mat and then they sang a song, soon after we walked back to school.

This afternoon two other media team members and I learnt who to edit and and make movies.
