Speech Finals 2019

On Wednesday 4th September all of good shepherd assembled in the hall to listen to the good shepherd 2019 speech finalists. There was a variety of interesting topics from llamas to bikes to toilets and skiers. It was cool to see all the people from different age groups stand up and present a speech. It was also nice to support the people who spoke from my class who were Jiwoo, Miranda and Mia. Miranda came first, Jiwoo came second and Mia came first and also came first overall. Well done to everyone who had the courage to do a speech in front of the whole school.

Here are some pictures:

I am learning to write a procedural text for my audience to follow.

Materials
450g plain white flour
1 level tsp salt
1 level tsp bread soda / baking soda
400ml buttermilk
100g raisins

Method
1. Preheat oven to 230 degrees Celsius
2. Sift flour,salt and bread soda into a large mixing bowl
3. Mix in raisins
4. Make a well in the centre. Pour most of the buttermilk into the flour, using one hand with fingers open and stiff, mix in a hull circle drawing in the flour from the sides of the bowl, adding more buttermilk if necessary, the dough should be softish (not too wet and sticky)
5. Don’t over mix. Mix as quickly as possible and as gently as possible, keeping it light and airy
6.Wash and dry your hands
7. Gently roll the ball of dough around floury hands for a few seconds to tidy up.
8. Pat it gently into a round shape that is around 5cm high
9. Place dough on a lightly floured baking sheet then with a sharp knife cut a deep cross in it.
10. Prick the four triangles with your knife. According to the Irish folklore this will let the fairies out.
11. Put in the oven for 10 mins, then turn the heat down to 200 degrees
12. Cook until when tapped it sounds hollow (roughly another 25 mins)
