Studio
As I first stepped into the studio I was getting really nervous. As I found a seat Mrs. Waterson stepped into the class. As she gave us all a sheet she asked us some questions but Liam answered almost all of them. When the questions were all answered she asked us if we wanted horizontal or vertical board for our quiz. The fun thing about the board was that we had to build the board for ourselves. We had to cut the stands for the board, sandpaper the pieces for the board, drill holes in the sides with a press drill for the wires to come out and glue all the pieces of the board together. Everybody that had finished their board got a kit with wires, small bulbs and a battery. Liam and I made the bulb flash by connecting wires. When the next lesson came we had to connect wires and thread them through the holes and solder the wires down. My quiz was almost complete, I just had to put my picture onto the quiz. I quickly and carefully placed my picture on my board. My quiz was complete. I now know how to solder, thread wires and I got better at using sandpaper. My quiz was about the weather and this was the best subject at technology for me.

Method:
Into a large mixing bowl measure 1 cup of the flour and stir in the dry ingredients. Add the oil and water. Mix for about 30 seconds to blend and then beat vigorously with a wooden spoon for 3 minutes. The dough should be a rough shaggy mass that will clean the sides of the bowl.

With the palm of your hand, flatten each ball into a disc. Then roll out into a 12-15cm disc. The thinness is more important than the shape.

Bakers in the making
As part of the containers unit one of the year 8 groups made Pita Bread. The smells drifting out of the foods room were wonderful.
Have a look at the Photo Story video Simon made of the Pita Bread making process. See if you can spot the slide that is out of place ... look carefully!
