Cooking for an astronaut

cooking for an astronaut!

Year 6 have entered an exciting competition, which allows them to cook a British dish for Tim Peake (an astronaut). The winner will be able to see Tim Peake in space eating their food. Cooking is really fun, lots of people worry about the time limit but you get a lot of time to spare. Once you've cooked your meal, you take pictures of all of your teams food, eventually you get to eat it. There is also an ICT presentation with all your team!

My group Tim Peaks menu

My group has made a delicious meal for Tim Peaks,who is going up to space in 2015.

STARTER

 .crab sticks

.prawns 

With mango chutney

MAIN CORSE

.Calzone  

Inside it had 

. pineapple chunks

.peppers

.mushrooms

And chicken 

DESSERT 

.trifle 

With a twist 

.turkish delight

.lady's fingers 

.strawberry jelly 

Over all I think my group did very well 

It was hard due to the fact that,we had to have a different variety of things off the eat well plate plus something about the menu had too be British. 

 I think Alex did extremely well because he had to make the dough for the calzone, it had to have the exact right amount of ingredients.

In pairs first we made our own poster about healthy eating including the eat well plate and tips for and make a healthy meal for Tim Peake (an astronaut who is going to the international space station in 2015). Later on that week we found the recipes and ordered all of the ingredients. The next day we created our meals and presented them. To enter the competition we had to give written and ICT  entries.

Space Food 

Year 6 has designed and made a meal for Tim Peake, who will be the first British person to go to the  International Space Station next year. My space meal consisted of the following : Starter was crab sticks and prawns. Main meal was Calzone pizza. We first thought of a normal pizza but thought toppings might float as no gravity up in International  Space  Station  (ISS) and pudding was chocolate/ice cream  trifle.
What would you say are the strengths of your meal?

Making Our Meal For Space

SPACE MEAL 2014

Firstly,to prepare for our meal we had thoroughly wash our hands with soap so then our food does not get contaminated with bacteria.Secondly,we had to collect the correct ingredients and equipment to make our meal.Then we could start making our meal! In my team are Emily,Lily,Abi,Niamh and myself.Lily and myself made the pudding (Sticky Toffee Pudding).Niamh and Lily made the fruit smoothie and Ab,Emily and Niamh made the dinner (Roast Beef Dinner).We all made our meals and drinks at the same time,so we got our meal done quicker than I expected. After everything was done we took a picture of our meal and then ate what we had made.It was so fun cooking in a group and our meal was very tasty.All we have to do now is finish our writen entry and then we can send our entry off and hope for the best.

Our space food meal!

On Wednesday 18th June, my group (Abi, Niamh, Emily, Lily H and Maddie) went and made our meal for Tim Peake ( An astronaut going into space in 2015 )  For the meal we made beef roast, for the drink we made a smoothie and last but not least the dessert which was sticky toffee pudding, they were all delicious and tasty and i think that Tim will really love them. If we win we will be able to Skype or face time him (The new technology) I'm not saying we need to win but it would be nice if we won and see him eat our delicious food which will blow his mind and his eyes will not believe them selfs.

Cooking For Timothy

                    Cooking For Timothy.

This term year 6 have had a opportunity to enter a competition where you make a meal suitable for space, and if you win the food gets sent to space where Timothy Peke , an astronaut , eats it. But that is not it you get to skype him whilst in space! In my 3 Course meal my team made : Green Bean Salad for the starter , Homemade Burgers and Potato Wedges for the Main course and Fruit Salad in Yogurt for Pudding. It was Defiantly a very healthy meal! Whilst in space Tim will be aboard the Intonational Space Station (ISS) experiencing zero gravity also Tim will be the first British Astronaut aboard the ISS.

Robin hood goes to Robin wood!

On the 4th of June our year 6's departed on a 2 hour journey to Robin Wood activity centre. On the journey they passed beautiful country side and small villages. After we got off the coach we were welcomed by our team leaders. After a few games due to the weather we hopped on a mini bus and road to the centre. Next we went to have lunch. Over the next 2 days we did activities such as: Archery, caving, climbing and night line. On Friday after lunch it was sadly time to leave we got on the coach and came home.

Whilst the year 6 pupils were on residential at Robin Wood Activity Centre, the other year 6 pupils who didn't go to Robin Wood had to help out down in key stage 1 and foundation stage. I had to help out Miss Mees in year 1. I stayed in year 1 for a whole 3 days when the rest of the year 6s were away. In the afternoon, the year 5s and the year 6s who didn't go to Robin Wood had to do the activity of printing, which is basically getting a cardboard box cutting it down to look like a building in Leeds and roll paint over the cardboard box on to your own plain white T-shirt. Whilst I was in year 1, I was helping all the children when they were stuck in English and Maths, I had to re-sort all the toy boxes for Miss Mees and Miss Mistryy, which helped them out alot. 

From the 4th of June to the 6 of June the year 6 pupils had a once in a lifetime opportunity to go to ROBINWOOD. Robinwood was fun in many different ways although the showers weren't at there very best. However there were an ample amount of brilliant activities which any person would love. My first activity was giant swing which went as high as a really tall tree. I was terrified at first and as soon as my friends shouted 1 2 pull on pooh I knew I had to pull on the teddy bear. Zip wire was my personal favourite because we did competitions such as: screaming and  rock paper scissors.

Robin Wood 2014

This year, year six pupils went on residential to Robin Wood in Cumbria. It was a great experience for all of the year sixes as well as it being a once in a life time opportunity. I enjoyed every activity, one or the activity s was a giant swing, I felt like a bird flying in the sky however me and my best friend Hollie B were screaming all the way down. At first we only went half way but then we went up to the top. Another  activity was the stream work wich we had to walk in a freezing cold stream.

Our amazing time at Robin Wood

DAY 1

Going to Robin Wood was very exciting as we'd been waiting to go since reception. The three hour journey was very long but adventurous as the animals and mountains we saw were extraordinary and breathtaking. We eventually got to our destination from here we transferred onto Robin Wood minibuses but unfortunately we missed doing the Morlyn challenge. In the minibus we met our group leader Ross- he was born in Africa and was a very funny guy. We told him our names and our hobbies. When we got to Robin Wood we geared up for Archery. We scored many bulls eyes and we played of Archery games and even Miss Hinton had a go. We then had a lunch where the food was nice. We then did the crate challenge. It was very challenging and it required a strict mind and trust. We then did the giant swing which looked terrifying after, however it was fun to say the phrase "Pull On Pooh!!!" ( had to pull on a Winnie the Pooh figure to activate swing). After that we went for dinner and had some delicious food. We then had to pick our funniest moment of the day which was when Miss Hinton went on the Giant Swing (she screamed loudly)! after that we went to our dormitory and packed our kit bags for the next day and went to sleep. YAY!!!

DAY 2

In the morning we were awoken by the night ninjas who stay awake through the night at 8:30. We then got dressed for our breakfast. We had the choice of : Toast, Beans, Potato Waffles, Sausages, Bacon and cereal.

Residential

Year 6 residential this year has been amazing .Because we did some great activities and had some amazing staff the children who took part in robin wood had a great experience . We took part in an activity called Piranha pool which isn't as bad as it sounds because the piranhas didn't have any teeth and they give you 10 seconds to get across the pool. Also we did giant swing were you say 1, 2 pull on poo and you need to pool the teddy and it drops you down and you go flying . Stream walk was very interesting because your instructer  told you all about interesting things like the Romans and the water goes right up to your stomach . On a night the staff (night ninjas ) tell you to get ready for bed then make you turn the lights off at 10 pm. Altogether Robinwood is fantastic and all the year 6 had the time off the lives.

Staying home is the new going out!

Whilst year six were having a tremendous time at Robin Wood, several year six pupils were helping out down at key stage one and foundation stage. Key stage one were getting on brilliantly as they were writing their scary stories about 'The Black Hole', we were so impressed with their amazing use of conjunctions and high level vocabulary! Have you ever tried a traditional  Spanish  cuisine?  Traveling to Spain was one of the best part for me and all the children enjoyed it too. Reception loved getting stuck in and helping serving the food- Yum! Being an artist for the week was one of our favourite parts about staying at school! Mrs Chin was incredible at printing and helped us all truly, even when our templates fell apart! Amber was the first person to finish her t- shirt (and she is very proud!) Robin Wood sounded absolutely exhilarating, however staying at school was just as good!
