Today at tech we were baking chocolate muffins. As we were following the instructions we placed our mixture of ingredients on the cooking bench. The smell of the chocolate muffins was delicious. We put the timer to 15 minutes. When the timer beeped that meant that the muffins were cooked. The muffins were nice and brown. The muffins were perfect because they weren't burnt. My partner and I worked collaboratively because I worked on putting the ingredients together and mixing them. My partner worked on putting the chocolate in the muffin tray and putting the oven temperature to 150 degrees. Food tech is great to go to and fun with Ms Tuipulotu. If I was to bake muffins again I wouldn't change a thing because I cooked it just right.

Today at food tech we were baking Quiches. The recipe was simple to do because it was already written on the board. My partner and I worked really well today because we were communicating with each other sorting the things that we should do. The things that I did was dicing the ham into small little cubes to put on the pastry. The second thing that we did was to place the cheese on top of the ham. The third thing that I done was pouring a half cup of milk into the silver measuring bowl and adding four eggs. After whisking the eggs and the milk we poured it into a measuring jug to pour it on the pastry. The cheese was added on the pastry so the texture and mixture can combine. When the pastry is finished getting poured with the milk and egg we had to top up some of the quiches. We put the oven on for 250 degrees and cook it for ten minutes. When the quiches were done baking in the oven the smell of the quiches were amazing. As we tasted the quiches we were proud of what we did because we put a lot of effort in this cooking. I really like cooking with Ms Tuipulotu and attending to her tech.

Today at tech we are baking muffins. The recipe wasn't simple because there were too many steps to follow but we still participated. The thing I like going to tech is learning new things and creating new things. I like cooking with Ms Tuipulotu because she is funny and she teaches us to cook and what to do if we do something wrong. Baking muffins is kind of hard because you have to make sure that it wasn't burnt. That was probably the hardest because you have to keep an eye on it to make sure that it isn't hard or soft.

Today at tech we were going to bake pancakes. The instructions were already written on the board. The ingredients were simple because all the equipment were pretty much set up for us to be prepared. The thing that was difficult about cooking was to make sure that the mixture of ingredients aren't t soft or hard it's suppose to be just right so it can make round. We all had a go at trying our best to make round circles but it turned out to be wobbly. What I found really difficult was  that my mixture was to watery and the thing why it turned out wrong is because I was whisking it to long. What I found tasteful was the Hershey's syrup on the pancake. It was great at tech with Ms Tupulatu.

Today for tech we were finishing our personal treasure box. Our art we had to draw was to make sure that it is traditional to the Waka huia. There were differences between contemporary and traditional.  I found my art very interesting because usually I never draw like that. Ms Telefoni gave us instructions about what we do when we are finished. The most fun thing I found cool in tech was the arts we can draw and the work we can finish.

Today for tech we were learning about Waka Huia. What I learnt was that they carved there Waka Huia with feathers. We were given a sheet of paper and a sketching pencil to sketch on the sheet of paper. In English Waka Huia means a personal treasure box. It means that the Maori people created this treasure box for a reason. They made this treasure box because it good to put in your personal belongings from someone else trying to be a nosy and looking through your things. The personal treasure box is traditional because the patterns represent there country. I actually like going to tech because there are fun things to do like creating your own patterns or story, and drawing interesting pictures to tell the story by imagination. The fun thing about tech is that we have a great tech teacher and teaches us new things every time we attend to tech. For the last second week of tech with Ms Telefoni we will be moving around to a different tech teacher for the term.

Today for the the year 8 B drew something about our favourite hobbies. What I drew was a picture of the things that I have been to and what I like to do in my spare time. I had created a picture which has 5 different patterns, it had something to do with the things in common that I do. The things on it was a swimming pool, the sky tower, and the kitchen, pattern also cricket. All those things have a meaning to me. I really enjoyed art with Ms Telefoni.
