Today it as the first day of Food Tech. The first day was about making a smoothie and a fruit salad. The teachers name was called Mrs Hecker

The ingeridents were 2 cups of milk, 1 cup of yogurt, a bowl of various fruits.

First we put the 2 cups of milk into a large bowl. Then got a chopping board to chop the fruits and put it in cups. After, we put the spare bananas into a blender with the yogurt and the milk to make the smooties. 

When we put the fruits into the cups, Mrs Hecker poured some water into the cup. 

After finishing we had to clean and polish our mess that we made. Then we were allowed to eat the smoothies and the fruit salad.

I enjoyed making these smoothies and fruit salad and learnt how to avoid cutting yourself by using a knife.

The first quote that I used was "We need to accept that we won’t always make the right decisions, that we’ll screw up royally sometimes – understanding that failure is not the opposite of success, it’s part of success.”by Arianna Huffington. I picked pictures to fit the quote. I did the same to the rest.

The second quote that I used was “When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.” by Helen Keller.

The third quote that I used was "Your passion is waiting for your courage to catch up.” by Isabelle Lafleche.

This task was fun and quick to make and the people who the quote ar my favorite people.
