Inquiry - Trying Empanadas

Today for inquiry in Room 4 we tried Empanada’s. It is a pastry dish native to Argentina. It looked like it was very soft, and it was a beautiful golden brown color. It smells delicious and very savoury. I thought it looked delicous and really want to experience the different types of flavors. It tasted sweet and a little spicy. The texture was really soft and melted in my mouth. I really liked that it was sweet but then it also had a kick of spice in there. So I really appreciate Mrs Stone for cooking this for us I thought it was really delicious.

Anthony Rockwall's View On Money (Mammon And The Archer By O. Henry)

Anthony Rockwall from Mammon And The Archer believes money can buy anything. In the text Anthony tried and tried to convince his son Richard, that money can buy anything. In the text he quoted "Don't say that, money is successful every time. I don't know anything you can't buy with it...". He stated this making him sound as if his life was drowned in money. There are more quotes like that in the text but that one was the quote that caught my eye. If you would like to go and check out the story.

Extension - Orienteering

Today in Extension we had an orienteering session with Mr Jacobsen. He taught us how to use a compass and many things about it. After that he sent us outside to complete a course he created for us. To be honest I thought I was gonna get it wrong but I actually got it right. I also really enjoyed this and thought it was challenging yet fun. I can't wait to do something similar to this.

Trying New Foods - Mediterranean Region

Today for Inquiry we were learning about foods from the Mediterranean Region. Such as Olives, Feta etc. We learnt a lot about these foods. Such as the history behind it, What you can make it into, and more. After that we got the opportunity to try some foods. We tried the Olive, Feta, Pan Au Chocolat, and Bread. In my opinion I only liked the bread. I thought that the bitter and sour taste of the olive was to much and I didn't like the saltiness. I also thought that the Feta was nice but a bit to peppery. I think it normally isn't peppery but it was in some pepper. Also I really liked the Pan Au Chocolat it was really fluffy and chocolaty. I really loved the texture and thought it was delicious. Lastly for the Bread I think it was really nice very soft and squishy in my mouth.
