Food Tech - Chocolate Muffins

 Today is the first week back here at school and not to mention our first week back at food tech. For our first day back we learnt to make chocolate muffins. . .Again.  To make this we used 2 cups of Self rising flour, one cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of coco powder, 1/2 of oil, 1 cup of milk and one egg.  Before you make your batter, pre heat your over to 180 degrees. Then set up your cup cake trays with cupcake shaped baking sheets and put that aside.

After you have everything prepared, mix all your ingredients together and make sure it's nice and smooth, you don't want it to be to runny, just make sure it's thick enough and runny enough to split into 9 cupcake sheets. After you've mixed it, get a large spoon and scoop half the batter into each cupcake paper sheet, the batter should be split even into all cupcake paper sheets. After that leave in the over for at least half an hour, poke with a kebab stick to make sure it's ready. Then there you go, an easy tasty way to make yourself a chocolatey treat.

Why New Zealand Primary School Teachers Are Striking For A Day

The teachers union president (Lynda Stuart) Supports the teachers strikes because the teachers are tired and they are underpaid. Quote-  " Why didn't it happen three years ago? We weren't quite in the same situation. People were embattled, really, because of all of the policy changes. They were demoralised, they were tired, They are still tired, they are still overworked but they have been given hope." 

I agree with this because, I think teachers deserve a rise in there pay, I mean they work throughout the week days, for at least 1-10 hours a day. 8am-3pm being the times they teach and the extra 3 to come together with all the other teachers and have meetings to discuss over how they can help the kids in there classes and what is next to teach.
