Spaghetti and Meatballs

Spaghetti and meatballs
Last Thursday we made spaghetti and meatballs during this practical our team had great communication and worked really well together we made our meatballs from scratch and added lots of herbs and spices to add extra flavour Mrs Hindson made our sauce before hand so we had the chance to focus on our meatballs and pasta.We added Parmesan on top to add that extra taste of goodness and we got the chance to add any other things to the dish if we felt like they needed a little bit more flavour.

Chicken Stir-Fry

Chicken Stir-fry

On Thursday last week for our practical we made chicken stir-fry and we added lots of healthy vegetables  and mixed in some sesame oil and made a combination of Chilli sauce, soy sauce and honey this made the chicken taste really good and added a lot of unique flavours to the dish. Our team worked really well together and we had good communication and managed to finish our dish on time. I learnt some new techniques with slicing the capsicum and other vegetables we made sure that we sliced our chicken thin so it would be quicker to cook and we made sure that we put the 2 minute noodles on at the right time so that they were still hot when we served them. At the end after we had 
finished our chicken stir-fry we had the chance to add some extra seasonings and this made the dish extra tasty because it added  more of a kick to the dish.

Q&A My Solo Performance

Q. What instrument did I choose and why did I choose it?
A. I chose Keyboard/ piano because I think its a bit easier than the other instruments.

Q. what is the song that I have chosen to play and why?
A. I chose Havana because it was also one of the easier options.
Camila Cabello - Havana (Official Audio) ft. Young Thug - YouTube

A. Song Meaning Havana is about someone who falls in love with a boy. Remember when people from Cuba were fleeing, well she has to leave Havana, Cuba. That iswhat she means by "Half of my heart is in Havana," meaning the boy has half her heart or her home Havana has half her heart.

Q. Am I nerves about preforming?
A. Yes because I don't know if i'm going to know it by then or what will happen if I muck up in front of everyone.

Vegetarian Nachos

Vegetarian nachos
On Thursday in home economics we made vegetarian nachos.
Our team had good organisation and preparation but we didn't exactly have the greatest communication. After we had finished our vegetarian nachos Mrs hindson got some of the teachers to come and judge our food overall we got 3rd place on average. We did have a little misunderstanding with a hot pan and plastic so one of our group members got sent out and we had to work with 3 people instead of 4.

The Keyboard

 The Keyboard


What the is the difference between a piano and a keyboard?

A 'piano' is an acoustic instrument with weighted keys whereas a 'keyboard' is an electric instrument (requiring a power source) with unweighted (lighter) keys than a piano. But pianos need to be tuned regularly, which can be expensive. Keyboards never need to be tuned.

Keyboards are also much more easy to transport as they are quite, slim and rectangular, as pianos are big, bulky and heavy.

Stevie Wonders

• Stevie Wonder is one of the most revered music makers of our time.
• In his 53-year career, he has recorded for only one record label: Tamla, one of the Motown imprints.
• When he plays keyboards, he doesn't use his right thumb.
• He and Bob Dylan both released their debut albums in 1962
• Wonder has two sons with Kai Millard: Kailand and Mandla. He also has two children with wife Tomeeka.

Keyboard reflection.

I really enjoyed playing the keyboard because it was nice and easy to learn and understand. I often got a bit slow around the chorus because I usually memorise the chords. I was playing shallows by lady gaga. That was one of the more easier options, I originally started playing old town road but found that a bit tricky so I switched to the shallows.  

Greek Mythology

Greek Mythology 

Zeus: 

Zeus was the king of the Greek gods who lived on Mount
Olympus. He was the god of the sky and thunder.
His symbols include the lightning bolt, the eagle, the bull,
and the oak tree.

Athena:

Goddess of wisdom, war and the crafts, and favourite
daughter of Zeus, Athena was, perhaps, the wisest,
most courageous, and certainly the most resourceful of the
Olympian gods. Accordingly, when Metis was pregnant,
he swallowed her and Athena was born from Zeus head,
wearing armour and fully grown.

Poseidon: Poseidon was the god of the sea, earthquakes
and horses. Although he was officially one of the supreme
gods of Mount Olympus, he spent most of his time in his
watery domain. Poseidon was brother to Zeus and Hades.
Poseidon vied with Athena to be patron deity of Athens.
