Reflection on Extension Paideia Seminar

The Yr 5 & 6 Extension Crew had their first Paideia Seminar on Tuesday the 26th of June. I was a little bit nervous but I just stayed calm. Once I started talking about our provocative statement which is ‘Developing new technologies may be the only way to ensure the survival of the human race’ I became more confident and just went with it. I am so excited until the next Paideia Seminar.

The Chef and Mr Goodwin

Walt: Write using descriptive language.

Mr Goodwin sat down to order his first Deep Dish Pizza. Only the chef had something different in mind for Mr Goodwin’s pizza. Instead of the usual ingredients like cheese, tomato, and ham. The Chef instead used the worst ingredient he could think of. He got it shipped from a friend of Mr Goodwin. The Chef used Mr Moran’s Stinky Socks.

The Chef went to Mr goodwin to take his order. “ Hello Sir, Welcome to our Restaurant, what do you want to order? Asked Chef. Mr Goodwin replied with “ Umm, I don’t know. What do you think I should order, Chef? ” “ Well, There is something, actually would you like to try the new special? Asked Chef. “Sure, As long as it’s delicious.’’ The Chef bolted to the kitchen to prepare the ‘new special’.

Rick the Chef first started cooking a normal Deep dish Pizza but randomly he squeezed Mr Moran’s socks. A bunch of sweat came dripping slowly out of the socks. “  Man it reeks in here. Ohh, so that’s why the box said Fragile, handle with care.” complained Chef Rick. The Masterpiece was born.

Rick put on his oven mittens and carefully took the Pizza out of the Oven. But this Pizza was not ordinary, it was a deep dish Pizza with a mystery ingredient. Rick the Chef walked out of the Kitchen with a mischievous smirk. He walked over to Mr Goodwin’s table and placed the Pizza in front of him. Mr Goodwin said “Thank you.” “ No Problem” replied Rick.

Mr Goodwin sniffed the Deep Dish Pizza and smelt a familiar odour. Within a few seconds, Mr Goodwin knew the revolting smell was Mr Moran socks. He could smell it from a mile away. Mr Goodwin picked up the dish and ran to Chef Rick. He took the Pizza and smashed it in Ricks face. Mr Goodwin shouted at Rick “ Ha, You’re plan backfired on you, how does it feel? Feel the burn! That was a good win, get it because my surname is Goodwin.”

Rick the Chef took off his mask, he revealed himself. Rick is actually Mr Burt, not only that but Mrs Burt is Mr burt’s hands. Mr Goodwin was regretting his words and actions to what he did to Mr Burt. Mr Burt started laughing and giggling while Mr Goodwin was feeling disappointed in himself.

The End!

Matariki Day Recount!

Walt: structure a recount

Have you ever had your school celebrate a day about Matariki? Well Pt England School took a day off school work last Friday and started having fun, it was a day full of enthusiasm. Read on to find out more about our Matariki day.

After Assembly, we were bursting to find out who was in our group and what group we were in. Miss Parrant shouted out “ Pisirina, Eden and Chance go to the Staff room because you are in My Kai Rules.” I jumped into thrillness because my two friends were with me in my group. I went speed walking to the Staff Room and found 15 other people power walking towards the Office.

At the Office, Miss Flavelle, Mrs Sorenson, Mrs McMillan and Miss Takerei gave us stickers with our names on it so that they can remember our names. We got splitted into 3 stations and did 3 different things. Eden,Ayvah,Danielle,John, Rangimaria, Rozaida and I were with Mrs McMillan’s station. We made Chocolate Fudge Slices. It was Deliciously Tasty.

Mrs McMillan gave us a laminated list with ingredients and instructions. We all read out “Chocolate fudge Slices.” We were reading out the ingredients and putting the ingredients on top of the small table. Finally we were ready to bake! My favourite thing to do during the process of baking is melting the butter. It was so satisfying and it smelled nice when Eden and I were melting the butter.

We then were adding in the ingredients.Ayvah and John splatted the mixture of all the ingredients onto a parchment paper and tray. Then we carefully threw it into the Refrigerator that was in the Staffroom. After that, MKR group spent 15 minutes creating a plate for us to take home. On that plate there was fruit kebabs, egg and parsley sandwiches, ham sandwiches, chocolate chip cookies and Chocolate fudge slices. All the treats on our plate were made by the MKR group.

Finally we finished up and had to go to the hall to have a assembly to show what some of our groups in our whole school have done. We were chosen by Mr Burt to go up the stage and present our creation which was our food plate to the whole school. Zaeeda grabbed the microphone and described what was on our plates. It was a very good description of our plates.

At the end of the day, I think everyone in my group would agree with me and say that it was Amazingly awesome. We were so blessed that we got to make all sorts of yummy treats. I can not wait until next year to do this again.

Task Description
