On Wednesday 19th November, two Year 10 classes were set the challenge of making pizzas. One class had the upper hand as they had been studying food technology all semester, while the other class had been studying all things Italian!
The students were guided in their work by Ms Norma who showed them exactly how to make the pizza dough. Students combined flour, salt and water and then got down to the difficult task of kneading. Only a few students forgot to dust their benches in flour, which resulted in pizza bases being stuck to benches!
Once the bases were prepared, students topped them with tomato, cheese, capsicum and olives. Ms. Josephine was on hand helping students with their toppings. Some rebellious students decided to top their pizzas with pineapple! This surprised and upset the Italian teacher, Ms. Mezzatesta who had spent most of the class handing out panettone and playing Italian music!
All in all, it was a fun lesson, where students were able to finish up their classes by making some delicious pizzas. Thank you to all involved for a great lesson and a fantastic end to Year 10 classes!
