  • Kia ora and welcome to Week 3 of Term 1!

    On Monday we will be having our first practical lesson and we will start with something easy: Pikelets! The main aim of this practical will be for you to find your way around the kitchen and to learn to work as a team. The theme of all our practicals will be finger foods and small snacks in preparation to sell some foods to the basketball crowds in Term 2.

    On Thursday we will be revising converting between grams and kilograms, as well as rounding. We will also look at how to scale a recipe up or down to cater for a certain number of people.
