Da Food Fighters - Food Technology

Today for the whole first and second block we were in fantasticchnology with Miss Watson, to cook up a storm.
The group that I was made Spaghetti Bolognese, in this group was Portia, Ethyn, Roger and I (Lara). The other groups were making baked potatoes and healthy hamburgers. In the first block we chopped vegetables, added ingredients and started to cook the food. Whilst we were at morning tea Mrs Watson let the food slowly cook on medium-low. In second block we served up and ate ,then well the worst part... CLEANED!!

Gordina and Michelle chopping onions "electrically"
 
Our group hand chopping carrots and onions, and the onions definitely made us cry
 Waaaaa!
 
 They had made the patties and they were ready to cook! YUMMY
 
 We had to stand there for ages stirring 'round and round and ROUND!
 
Gordina, Codey and Shreya chopped and mixed onions and cheese ''''CHEEESE''''
 

  The Spaghetti Bolognese was so good and served 7 people.
 

 Hamburgers were a treat that topped the day.
 
 "Stuffed, Baked potatoes. Delicious!"
 

 "Yum! These are really tasty" says Michelle  
 

It's like we are one big happy family at dinner.
 
"No! don't take a photo of me" -Ethyn
       "It's of the food" -Lara          
 ''Oh'' -Ethyn  

*A big thanks to Miss Watson for the fantasic photos.*

Da Food Fighters Survey

Da Food Fighters have had a go at using Survey Monkey to create an online survey around False Advertising. If you have 5 minutes they would love it if you could click here to take survey.

This website will also help the students to analyse their data as well as collect information from the wider community.

Thanks

Da Food Fighters

We are the Food Fighters group from Room 19 at Howick Intermediate School.

Our HOT question this term is to identify fast food restaurants that use advertising to appeal to customers; investigate the popular burgers nutritional values to promote conscious consumerism.

This term we have decided to create a blog as part of our social action. We are also going to create a healthy burger with less calories than your everyday McDonalds Big Mac, to do this we are going to compare and contrast home cooked burgers with the fast food franchise burgers in order to understand which burger would be the best to eat.

We were inspired by Martha Paynes' Blog Never Seconds
