In term 3 every Tuesday from the
6th August till the 24th of August,
Marnie, Loren, Hennessy and I
went to Moorefield Girls High
School to participate in the Talent
Acceleration Program (TAP) for food
technology. We had lots of fun
cooking and learning new
computer skills.
On the first week we had great fun making mouth- watering brownies which were delicious. We had fun mixing the ingredients and using a hot stove. The plating was also very fun using icing sugar and strawberry sauce for decorations; they really were a great treat.
The next week we made some appetizing tacos. Having turns to cook the mince, chop the vegetables and most importantly the taste test. We filled our tacos with some mince, vegetables and cheese and for a side, we had sour cream and some taco sauce. They were so nice we had none left to take home.
But personally I believe the third week was the best and I’m sure the others would agree. We made some scrumptious caramel tarts with meringue on top. We had great fun using an electrical mixer and learning new piping skills. That week we had to bring our own decorations for presenting our dish. We were commended on our decorations and the turnout was amazing. It put our mouths in heaven!!
In the final week we went to the computer lab and made our own recipe cards. It was fun learning new computer skills using Microsoft Publisher.
On the last Tuesday we had a presentation. Some of our parents came along to see us get our certificates, me and Hennessy got an extra gift, me for my amazing recipe card and Hennessy for his enthusiasm. The presentations were enjoyable and we had a yummy morning tea with meatballs, cupcakes, pavlova and sausage rolls.
Term 3 was a really enjoyable TAP program and we would all like to thank Mrs Williams for taking us to the program and also Moorefield Girls' High School and the Bayside committee for this wonderful opportunity.
