Birmingham Airport

Hi this is class 4D,

Yesterday (5.06.13) prepare to be jealous  we went on a epic journey to Birmingham Airport!!!

 

 

When we got inside we went to 'Flight School',

in there we found a glass cage with diffrent things that people have tried to smuggle into different countries, for example, knives,drugs, screw drivers, guns, alcohol. A policeman and woman came to tell us all about security at the airport. We found out so many things, for example, anything with a sharp point (incuding pencils, knives also sissors) can be a weapon for stabbing. There are some plain clothed police people walking around the airport too.
 

Playing around with hats!!!

 

 

 

These are speedcuffs - they go on really fast, and they hurt.  If you wriggle too much, they could break your wrist!!!!

I'm a police woman!!!

 Me too!!!!

 

 

 

 

The policeman took off his vest for us to feel how heavy it is - 2 stone!!! HEAVY!!

 

 

 

 

Check out this video of when the police were with us!

Elise went into a different room to speak to the policeman through a walky-talky.

 

Some of the items were extremely heavy!

Some of the items were: Speed Cuffs, Radio Walky Talkys and a Chest Pad.

Next, we went downstairs to look at the departure boards and make some notes on the different flights leaving from Birmingham.

 

Later, we looked out of the window and saw some aeroplanes like Ryan Air, Flybe and Turkish Airlines.  We got to see them landing and taking off, it was really exciting to watch!

 

Can you see the aeroplane about to land in this photo???

What a nice view, yay aeroplanes!!!

 

 

 

 Thank you for reading our blog,we hope you've enjoyed it and comment on it.

Our cafe week

Hi, we have had a brilliant week!
As part of our Global Gourmet topic, we have been getting ready for our cafe event.

Monday:  On Monday, the head chef from each group got to go to Tesco to get some ingredients for our cafe event which would be on Wednesday.
Each head chef had a list of ingredients to find, some of us carried baskets and others wheeled a trolley.  The school paid on the credit card for all three classes, it came to £174.00.  Expensive!!!

                                      Shopping in the fruit and veg aisle. Where's the peas?

   Bagging up ingredients with Mr Sheehan.

 

                                                          Best friends in the supermarket.

                          We got everything we needed, now we're on our way back to school.

Tuesday:  On Tuesday we made origami serviette folding for the cafe event.  Some of us were experts at it, including Kayden, Elise, Mia and Ciara.  It was trickier than you expect it to be!

 

Wednesday:  On Wednesday it was our cafe day, and we had a lot of work to do.  First of all, we had to make the food to serve.  The pizza group were amazing, they made about 6 sets of dough and 31 pizzas altogether.  There were cheese and tomato ones, ham and mushroom and ham and pineapple.  They smelt delicious when they were cooked - the whole school smelt of them. 

 Messy hands eurghhhhhhh!!!

 

Yummy pizzas!!!

 Lots of pizzas - yippeee!!!  Ready for the oven now.

 

 Busy making dough - oooh, it was a bit wet and sticky!!

 

These pizzas are delicious - mwah!!!  Magnifico!!!

 

A.M. made perfect pizzas with little crusts just like the ones at Pizza Hut!!! He was a perfectionist!!

 

This group were making the vegetable samosas by chopping up carrots and potatoes.

What does this thing do again?

The group below came in for part of their lunchtime with Miss Doyle to finish their spring rolls.  They were brilliant, and worked together really well!!

 

In the kitchen, heating up the potatoes and carrots.

Lots of parents, friends and family came to have a three course meal at 2:30pm.  We set up all the tables ready for them with tablecloths, serviettes, knifes and forks and water jugs.  They looked really good!  Mr Rothwell thought so too!!
For starters they could have either:  spring rolls or vegetable samosas
For mains:  Italian pizza or Mexican tacos
For desserts:  Jamaican ginger cake or American style pancakes

There were 12 tables and each one had a waiter, the waiters had to take orders from other people's parents. Once the parents had finished eating, the waiters took their plates and handed them their bills.  We raised £103.00 - wow!  Lots of parents said we could keep the change - thank you!!!

 

Can I take your order?

 

Someone liked the vegetable samosas...

The pizzas sold out really quickly!

Enjoying one of our pizzas!!

 

Here's one of the waiters, with their clipboard.

 Can you spot one of the waiters taking an order?

They were really professional!  Great service everyone!!!

 

 

Miss Doyle was so impressed with us all!!  It was a big success!! Yippeee!!!

 

Master Chef Day!

MASTER Chef Day!!!!!                                                                                                                      

Today (Wednesday), we all made chef hats ready for our cafe day, which is next week. 
Someone made a giant hat - can you spot them??

 

 

 

We are inviting some of our family members, to taste some of our delicious food for our cafe day next week.  Here are some of the recipes we will be making in groups:

• pizzas (Italian)
• samosas (Indian)
• pancakes (American)
• spring rolls (Chinese)
• Jamacan ginger bread
• tacos (Mexican)

The head chefs from each group will be going to Tesco with the teachers next week to buy all the ingredients, with the school credit card. Wow! We are trying to make a profit from the money we earn when we sell our food to the parents.
