Teacher comment

Kate, the cook! There have been many skills that you have acquired along the journey of your project, that are aside from cooking! The way you have gained confidence in writing emails to a variety of recipients, and can make phone calls to gather information is a handy skill to have. You have very clear ideas of what you want to achieve, and have put a lot of hard work into achieving these goals. At the end of each cooking session, you have clearly articulated what you have learnt, and what you are still wondering. This shows that you are constantly reflecting on what you are doing, and thinking ahead to future food adventures. I loved the way you were extremely independent, and strived to do as much as you could on your own, with the guidance of others. I hope your family embrace your passion for food, Kate, you are becoming quite the cook!

Passion project keynote

This is the process I went through during my passion project.

My rubric

This is my self assessment of my passion project.

Sushi

I made sushi with Scott Richardson. We used a Sushezi to roll the sushi. I put chicken and avocado and wasabi inside my sushi.

wontons

The food was from China. Mum helped me make it. There was spring onions, mushrooms, pork mince and a few other ingredients for flavour. It was very yummy.

2 weeks of cooking

On the first week back from the holidays I cooked my traditional dish from Egypt. It was called Stuffed Lettuce Leaves. It tasted salty and was very yummy. My Nana helped me make it.

On the third week I did my traditional French dish. It was called Gingerbread Crepes. It was delicious!!! Connor from SBHS helped me make it.

Progress So Far

3 weeks ago I went to the library and got some books about cooking egyption food, I got four books out. I decided to do Egypt first because I hadn't thought that Egypt had special traditional food so I wanted to find out some.

The week after I emailed three famous cooks

who were Peta Mathias, Richard Till and Annabelle White.

The next week they all emailed me back and I made my marking sheet , practised on a muffin and emailed Richard Till and Annabelle White back.

Last week I emailed S.I.T and Boys High to ask if they had anybody that could help me cook when I'm in the kitchen. Next term I am going to start cooking.

Passion project

For my talent development I am going to learn about traditional foods from around the world. I know that Japanese people eat sushi, I know that Chinese people eat wontons, I know that Italian people eat bolognese.

Teacher comment

You have done lots of 'hands on' learning during science this term Kate! During the visits with our experts you made the most of every opportunity and remained open to continuous learning. When researching your own ecosystem, you persisted until you found the information you needed, and then constructed your rainforest very independently! You have demonstrated a good understanding of the various effects humans have on ecosystems. I hope that you are able to use this knowledge to ensure your rainforest survives!

Talent evaluation

This term at Enrich we had to choose from Art Science and robotics for our talent development and I chose to do science because I wanted to learn more about nature. Please watch my keynote to find out some of the things I learnt.

Talent development

Today I used paint to show the bird aviary. It showed biotic things and nonbiotic things. The human affect is that if we touch the birds it could hurt them.
