Food Technology

Today for the whole first and second block we were in Food Technology with Miss Watson, to cook up a storm.
The group that I was made Spaghetti Bolognese, in this group was Portia, Ethyn, Roger and I (Lara). The other groups were making baked potatoes and healthy hamburgers. In the first block we chopped vegetables, added ingredients and started to cook the food. Whilst we were at morning tea Mrs Watson let the food slowly cook on medium-low. in second block we served up and ate then well the worst part... CLEANED

Community Contacts

On Thursday 13th March our advertising group and nutrition group met up with a chef named John, who has worked at lots different restaurants. He told us about his restaurant and gave us some tips on how to make healthier lunches. we had lots of questions to ask and he was impressed with what we had come up with. We had a great time learning about his job.
Now here's where you can help us! We would really like to make another community contact, if you know someone who works in a fast food franchise or knows about nutrition and would be interested in speaking to the majority of our class please email our class teacher at paigeb@howickint.school.nz

We've made a survey!

We've created an online survey about False Advertising it'll be asking you a few questions on your eating habits and your choice of food so please Click here to take our survey and help us out. Thanks.

Introduction

We are the Food Fighters group from Room 19 at Howick Intermediate School.

Our HOT question this term is to identify fast food restaurants that use advertising to appeal to customers; investigate the popular burgers nutritional values to promote conscious consumerism.

This term we have decided to create a blog as part of our social action. We are also going to create a healthy burger with less calories than your everyday McDonalds Big Mac, to do this we are going to compare and contrast home cooked burgers with the fast food franchise burgers in order to understand which burger would be best to eat.

What would you pick?
