Chocolate Cake - Food Tech

Today in food tech, my classmates and I made a chocolate cake.

The ingredients we needed were self-raising flour, sugar, cocoa,

milk, oil, 1 egg and vanilla essence. The first step was to add 2 cups

of self-raising flour, ½ a cup of sugar and 2 TSP of cocoa into a bowl.

We then added the wet ingredients which were ½ a cup of milk, ½ a

cup of oil, 1 egg and 1 tsp of vanilla essence. We then mixed it altogether

using a rubber scraper. Once it was mixed, we rubbed butter all over the

baking tin with our fingers and poured the mixture into the tray. We then

placed the tin inside the oven to bake at 180 oC for 30 minutes. As you

can see at the top, this is how our cake turned out with a bit of icing sugar.

Plain Bread - Food Tech

Today in Cooking class my classmates and I made plain

bread. The ingredients we used were plain flour, SR flour,

oil, sugar, salt, yeast and cooking spray. First we added 2

cups of flour into a bowl and added two teaspoons of sugar

and ½ a cup of oil. We also added a little salt to the bread

as well. We then got a bowl of warm water and added yeast.

Slowly, we mixed the yeast into the bowl of flour until it was

in good shape to roll out. Then, we got a chopping board and

threw on some SR flour and rolled it out. We did it until the

dough was good enough to go into the oven then cut it in half.

We sprayed cooking spray on the tray, placed the dough and

put it in the oven. But before we did that, we left the oven on to

180o degrees for 20 minutes then turned it off and placed the

bread in. We left the dough inside the oven for a couple of minutes

then turned the oven back on to 1800 degrees. As you can see at

the top, this is the end result of how our bread turned out.  

Nachos - Food tech

Today in food tech, me and my classmates made

nachos. The ingredients we used were: onion,

mince, baked beans, sliced tomatoes, spices,

cheese and nachos. First, we diced onion and fry

it in a pan until it was soft. We then added the

mince and fried it altogether. We threw some

spices into it and then added the baked beans

and sliced tomatoes. We mixed it until it was

done and placed it on a plate with nachos underneath.

Then to finish it off, we added cheese on top and it

was ready to eat. As you can see on top, there is a

photo of what our nachos looked similar to(I did not

have a photo of our finished product)

Social Responsibility - Physical Education

What is social responsibility?

Social responsibility is the value and attitude that back

up students in making the right choice or responsible

decisions about behaviors and participation in physical

education/health and in their personal lives as well.

What level were you during our lesson and why?

The level I was during our last lesson was a level 3.

I believe I was a level 3 during this activity because I

showed respect to my teacher and other fellow

classmates, I did independent work activities and I was

able to work with others to settle an argument. I did not

admit to my mistakes as I didn’t make any on that day.

I was honest and fair and I don’t think any choices were

made since there were none, other than being awake and

listening to the teacher and cooperating. 

What could you do in order to improve your level or

social responsibility for next lesson?

A few things I could do in order to improve my social

responsibility is working with everyone in the class,

complimenting each other, and providing assistance

to the teacher or a fellow classmate of mine. 

Do you have any questions about your learning you

still need answered?

How am I able to improve my social responsibility independently

without having to participate in any physical activity with the school?

Ultimate Frisbee - Physical Education

Explain today’s activity(Ultimate Frisbee)

Today in p.e we played an activity called Ultimate Frisbee.

The rules were: 

- If you drop the Frisbee, it’s the defense ball
- Not more than 2 steps is allowed if you have the Frisbee in your hands

- You can’t run with the Frisbee
- You must be over the line to get a score

But before we played, our p.e teacher Mr Cunnard gave us a little

bit of time to practise throwing the Frisbee. We practised for around

5 minutes and then got into 2 teams, non-bands vs bands. We were

first to try and catch the Frisbee so the game could begin. There was

heaps of teamwork during this activity but unfortunately my team lost.

Although, it was a good game and it was a good motivation for me so

when we play again, I will know exactly what to do and hopefully, my

team would win this time. 

What level did you display

During the activity, I believe I displayed a level 2

Give an example of how you showed the above level

I believe this because I listened and followed the directions and showed

a bit of respect, except for when I entered the rec and straight away

played basketball instead of practising to throw the Frisbee. I participated

in the activity, even when the teacher wasn’t looking and I made sure I

was actively involved and willing to take part. 

What do you need to do to reach the next level. 3,4,5...

In order to reach the next level, I must be able to show respect all the

time from when I walk into the rec until the time I leave. I must compliment

others instead of putting them down and have respect for the equipment

whenever I make mistakes. I also need to show high levels of skill during

the activity and participate in all physical activities that occur with high interest.

Beef Soup - Cooking Class

Today in cooking class, my classmates and I made beef soup. The ingredients

we needed were beef, cauliflower, broccoli, tomatoes, onions, plain flour, and

cups of water needed for now and then. First we diced the meat and then all

the vegetables including broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, and onions . The next

step was to add 2 cups of water in a pan and add the meat and vegetables. We

were able to add some salt to the mixture just to add a bit of flavor. The next

step was to add ⅓ a cup of flour into a bowl and add ½ a cup of water. We

stirred it until it was properly mixed and then added it in the pan. We kept it

in the pan until it was properly cooked. We added more flavors as well like

mixed herbs, Tuscan seasoning etc. As you can see, at the top is the finished

product of what we made today.
