Food Technology

Here at Green Bay, we are not only a primary school but we are also an intermediate and we have an amazing technology room next to the library. It has so many resources including three ovens. It is perfect for cooking. Today we went into the technology and baked choc chip cookies.


We had to work in groups and follow a recipe. It was quite tricky measuring all of the ingredients accurately. We also had popcorn with our cookies to celebrate earning our first 100 CLASS POINTS! Here is a slideshow of what we did.
