Food Technology

L.I To learn our knife skills.

Today in tech we were learning food technology with Mrs Heka at Tamaki Collage. We were learning our knife skills and we made a colourful fruit salad.The fruits we used were yellow and green kiwifruits,grapes and oranges. We had to remove the skin from the kiwifruit and cut the ends off. Next we had to segment the orange. We also learnt how to measure 1 cup of yoghert and how to wash the dishes. My favorite part at tech was chopping the fruit.

LI: To retell True Story of the 3 Little Pigs in my own words

Today my group read the True Story of the 3 Little Pigs. After listening to the story we used the retelling pathway to help us retell the main events in pairs. My favourite part was when the third little pig told the wolf 'Your grandma can sit in a pin!' because I thought this was funny.

I made a Screencastify so you can listen to me retell the story in my own words.
