Beach Cookout

Beach Cookout

Today Room 1 and 8 had a beach cookout along the Karoro beach by the Tasman sea.
The supervisors were Mrs Glue and Mis Kemp, (Teachers) Mrs Maclean and (Teacher Aid)
Matt, Tim Clark, Angus and Mrs Swinburn (Adults). Nathanael, Dakota, Charlie,
Nathanael and I were in a group. The adult supervisor was Tim, Dakota's dad.

First we dug a little pit for our fire to go in then we collected sticks to make a t-p.
Then we used matches to start our fire. To get our fire going we collected straw.
The fire went great, but it was sort of hard because the wind would change direction
and go everywhere.

For our main we cooked taty fry, which is potato, bacon, onion and rosemary herbs.
The Taty Fry was very yummy. Next time I would not put much onion in. The potato
was my favourite. the bacon quiet fatty and in big pieces so next time I would chop
it up a bit smaller and cut the fatty pieces off.  For our desert we made pancakes
with maple syrup.

We did the beach cookout for the William Pike Challenge, to develop new skills and to
have fun. We had team roles and we helping each other to cook and put the ingredients together. We each had to bring some ingredients. 

For the beach cookout  I brang a Whisk ¼ cup, ½ cup and 1 cup measurements
2 tsp vanilla ¼ cup sugar ½ cup maple syrup. Charlie brang 10  Plastic Plates, Tsp and
tbsp measurements and a Wooden board for chopping Lots of Fresh herbs Lots of Salt
and Pepper 6 tbsp oil 2 cups flour and 2 cups of milk. Dakota brang 2 spatulas, Knife,
Bowl, 8 bacon rashers and 2 eggs. Nathanael brang a Frying pan, five knives, five forks
6-8 potatoes, 4 cups water and onion.

My favourite parts were putting the fire out because it sounded like bombs exploding.
My other favourite part was eating the pancakes. I really enjoyed the beach cookout.
