Technology At Tamaki College

For Technology at Tamaki College the year 8's are with Mrs Tuipulotu. We have been learning how to cook. Some of our food at Technology have been a success, I enjoy cooking because we create different food that we haven't made before. Last week at Tamaki College we made some kebabs. We used the chicken and we put it through the kebab sticks and then we polished it. After we put it into the oven, we had to wait a couple of minutes for it to finish. After we finished we ate it. So far I have enjoyed cooking!
