 On Wednesday a little while ago for home economics we made apple crumble.

Ingredients:

• Brown Sugar 
• White Sugar 
• Rolled oats 
• Cinnamon 
• Apples 
• Butter 
• Water 
• Flour

Method:

1. Put flour, cinnamon and brown sugar into a bowl.
2. Rub butter lightly into the mixture.
3. Add rolled oats and mix with a fork.
4. Dry the apples and peaches, cutting them into little pieces 
5. Divide evenly spooning the mixture into 4 little greased pie dishes.
6. Sprinkle with white sugar and water
7. Bake on fan bake for 10-15 min or until edge is going brown.
8. Serve and enjoy

It tasted weird because their was to much oats and it wasn't cooked for long enough, so it was a bit gooey and raw. But it also took along time to make because of the apples.

Apple sauce muffins - Home economics

 Apple sauce muffins

Last Wednesday in home economics we made apple sauce muffins, we all got given a substitutions for our muffins apart from my group instead we got chocolate chips. 

Original recipe no substitutions - It wasn't good but wasn't bad so it was okay, but I found it a bit raw and a bit much of some sort of liquid. But it was probably the best one out of all of them due to having the chocolate chips in them.

Canola and soy - I didn't like this one because it was to soggy and chewy so it may not of got cooked for long enough. Or it may be due to the substitutions that got added instead of the normal ones.

Butter and wholemeal flour - It was quite bad because they're was way to much oats because they're was whole meal flour and other oats added into the recipe.

Soy and wholemeal flour - It was quite bad because it was really chewy i'm guessing it was due to the whole meal flour and oats, but it was very bad I couldn't even eat it.

Canola and wholemeal flour - They put to much much baking soda in it was gross, and not enough of every other ingredient in the mixture so their was to much oats.

Butter and soy - It had a weird taste but it might've been because of the substitutions or they added to much baking powder. But this one was cooked well.

This is our recipe we had for the apple sauce muffins -

Timeline - Social Studies

I decided to study about Rosa Parks because she lived her whole life fighting for Civil Rights which amazes me because no matter what challenges and obstacles she faced she always had hope and never gave up. She inspires me to fight for what I believe in, in life and to never give up no matter how hard it gets.But here is my timeline on Rosa Parks.

Music performance - Music

Here is my music performance that I recorded it isn't that long seeing as I learn't it in half of 1 period. The rest is the questions I had to answer about the last two terms and my performance. Enjoy.

What instrument did you choose to learn and why ?
 - The instrument I choose to learn was the piano/keyboard.
 - I choose this instrument because I felt like for me it was the easiest thing to learn and I felt comfortable with learning the piano and keyboard.

What song do you choose to learn and why ?
 - The song I decided to learn last minute was blinding lights by the artist the weekend.
 - I wasn't going to learn this I was actually doing the research. But when I saw someone else playing the song I wanted them to teach me it because I liked the song in general.

What was challenging about the piece and how did you over come it ?
 - For me the timing and speed of the piece I did was hard to get it right.
- But also the technique you had to use with your hands was quite difficult with the speed.

Were you happy with your final recording performance ? and why ?
 - I was pretty happy with my finished product because I learnt it in a very short amount of time so I don't think I did that bad. Especially for how much I managed to learn in very little time.

What would you change about your performance if you could do it again ? and why ?
 - Yes would change something that I felt I could've done better or different. I would change the speed that I played the song seeing is I feel like I did it to slow compared to the song

Were you happy with your overall grade and why ?
- I have not got my overall grade yet.

What have you enjoyed about music this semester and why ?
 - I enjoyed everything in music this semester.
 - I enjoyed getting the sheets of paper to learn new songs on the piano.
 - But also enjoyed in term one getting to try every instrument to see which one we actually felt comfortable to play.
