 How To Make Spaghetti And Meatballs:

• Ingredients
• 300g pork mince
• 300g beef mince
• 1 slice wholemeal bread, torn into small pieces and soaked in 2 tbsp milk
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1 smallish onion, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley, plus extra for serving
• 1 tbsp finely chopped thyme
• 1 tsp dried or 2 tsp fresh oregano
• 3 tbsp tomato paste
• 3⁄4 cup beef or chicken stock (I like the fresh one ones in the pouches)
• 400g can chopped tomatoes
• 2 tsp sugar
• 3 handfuls baby spinach leaves
• Fresh herbs for serving – I like lots of chopped basil and parsley
• Spaghetti
• To serve: Freshly grated Parmesan, freshly chopped herbs (parsley, basil)
• Method

• Put the minces, bread, egg, garlic, onion, parsley, thyme, and 1 tablespoon of the tomato paste into a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, and mix and mash it all up really well using your clean hands. Shape the mixture into walnut-sized balls.

• Heat a splash of oil over a medium high heat in a large frying pan, and brown the meatballs all over in two batches. Once browned, remove and set aside.

• Drain any oil from the frying pan and add the stock. Turn the heat up and bring to the boil, scraping the pan with a wooden spoon to get all those crunchy caramelised meat juices from the meatballs into the sauce. Add the rest of the tomato paste, meatballs, tomatoes, oregano, sugar and mix well. Simmer for 20 minutes or so, until the meatballs are cooked and the sauce is nice and thick. Stir in the spinach and simmer to wilt it. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

• Serve with hot spaghetti cooked al dente, a scattering of fresh chopped herbs, and lots of freshly grated Parmesan. Belissimo!

My Comments

These are my comments to Faitele and Jacob on their I-movies.

Internet Poster

My group and I read about internet and we had to make a poster. We learnt about the history of the internet and how it was created.

My Poem

Yesterday we presented our poems to the class. I chose to video my poem. This is what I made using I-Movie.

Tuakana Teina Time

Today, Room 9 and Room 1 had Tuakana Teina Time. My partner today was Matarake. Together we played Starfall and we had much fun.

Poetry Rubric

I performed Autumn Fires by Robert Louis Stevenson in front the class today. Through my critical friend: Kapri's point of view, she told me I need to use more expression and that is what my next goal is, when I performing poems in front of an audience.

Xtra Maths

This is my Xtra maths, I need to improve on. My goal for next time is to finish the subtractions and move on to multiplication.

My Poetry Reflection

Were you pleased with how you sounded? Why or why not?

Yes I was pleased with how I sounded because I sounded confident and I used expression.

What helped you learn your poem?

By practising.

Did you look at your audience?

Yes, I looked at the audience.

Did you speak clearly?

Yes, I used loud, clear voice throughout the poem.

Did you use an expressive voice?

Nearly all parts, I used expression.

What are your next steps?

My partner Joshua told me I need to work on using more expression.

Today my partner: Joshua and I evaluated each other on our poems. We evaluated each other on expression, loud clear voice, eye contact and the knowledge of the poem. Joshua gave me a 3 on the expression, a 4 on my loud clear voice, a 3 on my eye contact and a for on my knowledge of my poem.
