Today's The Big Day

On Wednesday,16th of May, Room 7 was going to experience something that only some schools get to  experience, which is TECHNICRAFT!

Technicraft is when a class goes to a college and there they are taught technological skills. Room 7 is doing Technicraft every Wednesday for five weeks. The school we are going to for technicraft is Edgewater College.

We had to take the bus us to be able to get to Edgewater College. When we got there we saw Miss Bullot at the car park and she helped us to get to the classroom we were going to work in, we met our teacher her name was Mrs. Scott. Mrs. Scott put us in groups of four, I was with Christian, Yom and Joanna, Mrs. Scott told us that we were making triple chocolate muffins. We had to preheat the oven and put on our aprons. Joanna, Yom and I started to make the mixture and Christian made the milk and he also sprayed the oil in the muffin trays and then we popped it in the oven. The muffins were in the oven for 40 minutes at least, we checked the muffins by poking the muffins gently with a knife if the knife comes out clean it means the muffins are ready and if the knife doesn’t come out clean that means it’s not ready. When the muffins are ready we took it out of the oven.

The muffins had to cool on the table for about 2 minutes. Each person in the group got 3 muffins each. We had to eat one muffin with whip cream that Audrey’s group made in her group. It was so yummy, after we ate we had to wash the dishes then we had to go back to school.

I was a bit scared when we went to Edgewater College because I thought that technicraft was going to be really hard, but it turned out to be really fun!
