THIS IS MY GARDEN2TABLE PART OF MY WIKI! THIS IS WHERE I WILL BE TELLING YOU ABOUT MY GARDEN2TABLE TIMES AT SCHOOL WHERE ME AND MY CLASS DO GARDENING AND COOKING! WE ARE PUT IN GROUPS SO WHEN I SAY GROUPS YOU WILL KNOW WHAT I MEAN! AND WHEN I SAY I DID COOKING OR GARDENING THIS WEEK I MEAN WHAT MY PARTICULAR GROUP DID! ENJOY MY PAGES ON MY G2TABLE SECTION AS WELL AS MY WORK I'VE DONE IN CLASS THAT RELATES TO G2T! WEDNESDAY 2ND JUNE

This week I did cooking. My group made cheese scrolls which were more yummy than you would have guessed! Other groups made a Thai Noodle Salad and Jamdrops. But the food I wanted to make was the jam drops! They are tiny little biscuits in the shape of a circle with a dob of jam baked into the middle of them. Even though I didn't get to make them we got one more if we helped clean up! Which was kind of good because we got two jamdrops but for me it interfered with netball practice! So I was a bit late for that! I learned that you have a machine to roll the pasta out and another one which cuts it into thin strips. It was very professional! And I thought I was very posh! YUMMY SCRUMMY IN MY TUMMY!!!!!!!

// __ THURSDAY 23RD JUNE __ // This Thursday I did gardening. We all split up into groups and we either went with Mrs Masters or Nicky Elmore (our gardening teachers!) I ended up going with Nicky and some other kids. I was the last one to get a job from Nicky and I ended up harvesting weeds... but then my next job was to put mulch over the weeds so they could no longer grow. I didn't do it alone because I had two boys called Bailey and Sajith to help me. My next job was not that exciting either, Kyle and Thomas (two people in my group) and I were doing this job as well. We had to chop big leaves of lavender that were overgrown, but they could still be useful so Nicky told us to put them in a bag. Luckily we didn't end up with that job! Not so lucky for Kelvin (another boy in my group)as he had to do it instead! The cooking group made pumpkin soup, banana cake and a bowl of sweet custard! I always wish to do cooking but I love gardening too! I learnt in gardening that on trees every one has a smooth part of them but they all have a scruffy part too. The rough part of the tree is the older part and new part is smooth but when people cut the plant or flower or tree off they always leave the old scruffy part and the smooth part gets thrown away. However, there is always a new part that grows again!

WEDNESDAY 30th JUNE As you've probably already guessed I did cooking today! We all got into our groups (1,2 and 3) and my group(Kyle,Sajith,Iraia, Kai and I) were making the kumara slices. Other groups were making the lemon muffins and cauliflower fritter. I hoped with all my might that my group would be making the lemon muffins but instead I ended up with the kumara. Lucky for Kyle and I we got a very special helper (according to Kyle!) Kyles mum!(Sue) But not so lucky that we had to share the celebration with the boys! Most of my jobs were either cutting up kumara or peeling kumara. But when I was chopping up the kumaras Mrs Sylvester told me there was a safer way to chop the kumaras. I learnt the safer way and it was actually much easier! You put the potato or kumara or whatever you are chopping down its flattest side.Then you join your hand up to make a fist and then gently lay it next to the kumara.Then start chopping! Its much easier once you get to know it! The food was all very scrummy and I can't wait to make the recipe at home!

// __ WEDNESDAY 21st JULY __ //

Today it was a rainy day as I had the best of luck by doing Gardening!!!!!!! We all met outside the hall and chose who was either going with Nicky, Mrs Masters or Peter (a person helps around the school). The cooking group made silverbeet savoury and crepes. My favourite was the crepes because they were nice and cheesy and I love cheese! My first job was harvesting time and silverbeet with Maddy. We did a good job because Mrs Masters was very happy! After we had finished I went to the hall to deliver the silverbeet and thyme. I came back to the gully and helped Peter by digging up soil and turning it over. My next job was to sprinkle compost over the plants which had sheep manure covered in the soil. I did this job with Kamo and Maddy. We got bored hovering the sieve over the plants so we started to use our hands! But we got a little too mad and and accidently sprinkled it all over ourselves too! So we ened up as walking soil! I enjoyed the day and loved the food! Yum!

Wednesday 4th August //**I did cooking today and was quite lucky because it was starting to rain. The cooking group and me made stir fry, rice and lemon tarts. My group and me did the stir fry and while I was cutting vegetables Sue told me there was another way to cut the vegetables which would get the job done quicker. It wasn't cheating but it was quicker. It was to fold more then one vegetables about the same size and fold them not so they would break but gently fold them. I loved the food but was a bit unsure on the stir fry...but I loved the day apart from the weather and I can't wait for the next time we do garden2table.**// Wednesday 18th August //**I did gardening today and I got soaked in the rain! Although we did get soaked we played a game of 'i went to the garden and I took a ..' We were lucky that it only rained at the end of our gardening day because we took shelter in Room 11's class room. The cooking group made lemon delicious pudding, flatbread and vegetable curry. I really enjoyed the day (except getting wet!) and I owe all the thanks to the parents and teachers who helped on this very wet day!**// Wednesday 1st SeptemberToday I should have been doing gardening but I moved down into a different group with Shannon,Sara,Josh and Shiping.Today I went down to the garden with some of my friends and we picked rosemary and mint. The rosemary had a very beautiful scent so we each took some. I was told that Rosemary is a robust herb which goes well with lamb and also on roasted potatoes. Then I went back to the garden where Mrs Masters and the rest of the gardening group that day were. Sophie, Josh and I weaved wire round bamboos so the beans and peas could grow up the bamboo. The cooking group made pitabreads, beetroot salad, white bean dip and flapjacks (which were surprisingly healthy). Lots of the class learnt that in England a flapjack is more like a slice than an American pancake. I already knew this though! I enjoyed the whole day even though I had to wash up afterwards because I forgot my cutlery!!!!! __Thursday 17 September__ **// Today I did Cooking! We made Ravioli, Lemon Cake and the filling for the Ravioli. I had a fab time chopping and washing vegetables. But the best bit of the day was grating cheese! My friends Shannon and Sara helped me. //****// Shannon //****// helped by holding the board and putting the cheese in the pan. And Sara….well she just ate the cheese! And then we all got tempted and ate some cheese too! Then we got told off! I loved the day and the food! And can't wait for the next session! //**  ﻿ //__ Thursday 0ctober 2010 __//

Today I did gardening. We put down coffee on the plants so the weeds wouldn’t come through. Mrs. Masters told us that wildlife can also die because of te coffee as well. I loved the day and can’t wait to cook next week. __ Wednesday 10th November __ Today was my birthday! Lots of people came up to me to say happy birthday! Anyway we had a class from New market primary to come and see what we make at Meadowbank school! They brought potatoes and lots of other things for the salad we were making! they were a great help and very kind. Go New market primary school! ** // __ Tuesday 23rd November __ // ** ** // Today I did cooking! We cooked Spinach cheese salad, lettuce and yogurt salad and chocolate mouse. My group made the Spinach and cheese salad. Today’s theme was kind of an Indian theme. The salads where quite spicy and had heaps of salt contained in the recipe! The chocolate mouse was just a dessert which didn’t really connect to the theme but because we hadn’t had a desert for quite some time so it was nice to have a pudding for a change! // ** ** //  I really enjoyed our last garden2table class session and can’t wait for next week doing it with all the year 5 classes! // **

=== The Year 6's have just finished there Peforming Arts show which is what everyone gets to do when they are in Year 6. It is when you show parents and familys what you have been learning in Yr 6. Even though I didn't go and I haven't really got much to say I hear from my friends that it was a great day === === ﻿There was a Talent competition called the Talent Quest. It is when you or you and your mates can audition to do either acting, singing, dancing or play a musical instrument. Room 11 and I were very lucky to have someone from our class the winner of the Talent Quest. He is .......drum roll please .......Sajith! He danced and acted! He acted being a mouse and danced to beat it by Micheal Jackson. I did audition in both dancing and acting. I did an act with my friends Sophie, Rebecca, Lexy, Tyler. I also danced to Mamma Mia with my friends Maddy and Rebecca. === === The art exhibition is coming up this week and it is where all of the senior sides artwork by students is going to be presented in the school hall. Every class has done something different and they are all AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Room11 made animal gumboots. My one is a penguin and some of my friends ones were flamingo, peacock, tortoise, ladybug, crab etc. I'm really excited about the art exhibition and I really look forward to it this week! Now here is my description of my gumboot! ﻿ === __ My gumboot! __ ** My gumboot is a penguin. Her name is Polly the penguin. **
 * She has midget misty feathers that flap like pairs of underwear flying on the washing line! Polly lives in Room 11 at the moment but she will soon live with me! But while she’s in Room 11 she loves to catch up with the latest gossip with her animal friends. **
 * She loves to eat cold slimy fish from the North Pole that slips and slides in your hands like a bar of daffodil soap. She waddles from side to side when walking just like a leaf flowing one way to another. Her pointy sharp beak is as needle like as a woodcutters axe as he chops wood for his wife and him to use for the fire **

**//Topic!//** For topic we go to diffrent classes.I go to Room 10 with Miss Bell. We are the glogster group where we learn stuff on the computer. We got little groups in glogster and it had to be girls and boys and from mixtures of classes. In the end I went with Alex (from Rm 12) Johney (Rm 12) Conran (Rm 10) Max (Rm 10) and Josh Adams (Rm 12.) We each got to choose a job out of Leader, Computer Specialist, Designer, Comic life, Photo Specialist and there are heaps more jobs! I'm the comic life person which doesn't just do comic life it helps people on comic life. So each group got given an envelope and inside it was a poster about made up companys and what we will be advertising. My group got Meadowbank Gardens.I love topic and I'm quite pleased how I have Miss Myles as my Maths teacher Miss Bell as my Topic teacher and Miss Bryant my teacher teacher!!

It is also has good diagrams on the front of the book! //
