Excellent: I explore various ways of manipulating the elements to develop a solution that is thoroughly developed to rich and fine detail. I had tested and/or improved my prototypes a few times.

Good: I explore several ways of manipulating the elements

to develop a solution that is well developed to substantial detail. I had tested and/or improved my prototypes a few times.

Developing: I explore a few ways of manipulating the elements to develop a solution that is partially developed to some detail. I had tested and/or improved my prototypes at least once.

Needs Improvement:
I explore one way of manipulating the elements to develop a solution that is superficially developed, lacking in detail. I made only one prototype and did not test and/or improve it.

With respect to my goals, what was my proudest moment?
It was when i got to play the piano. This is because i love music and i have never owned a piano. It was great to get to learn and explore piano. I was feeling proudest when I could play a simple song fluently on piano with both hands.
With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?
It was creating my own music because it was hard to find music that sounds right together in garage band.

- i will learn the various kind of food, like fats, proteins carbohydrates. I also learn more about the food pyramid so i can make a balanced meal.
- I will practice taking note of the time when cooking and come up with organised plans so as to maximise productivity.

Creativity:
Think out of the box and branch out from different ideas. I can merge different ideas together to form something unique and include my imagination in my art.
Project Management:
I should plan before I start. I would plan my drafts first and set how many lessons i should take to finish it. I should also leave about 1/3 of the lesson to just touch up (if everything goes to plan). I would also take note of the time that we are given and plan ahead.
Expression:
I will draw an art that will convey something that makes you looks deeper into the meaning. I will use the different painting techniques to make my artwork more interesting and compelling.

With respect to my goals, what was my proudest moment?
My proudest moment was when I finished my canvas and saw my art piece as a whole. I felt happy and satisfied that my hard work paid off.
With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?
My greatest challenge was painting. I could not grip the brush properly while painting and could not control how thick or thin the brush would be on the paper. However, I overcame that a little by trying to paint slower and with less force.

Eggs____
i have learnt how to cook eggs in different ways and with different ingredients. I also learnt more about the presentation of food and how it needs creativity. Finally, I learnt that eggs are really cheap but yet can be cooked into so many different kinds of dishes.

Today i learnt how to make tuna quiche and peach crumble. I learnt how to sift, use the oven and learnt the rubbing in method for shortcrust ("melts in your mouth" after a short while) pastry.

Another 2 alternative suggestions for the quiches!
vegetarian: pumpkin
non-vegetarian: chicken/ ham and cheese

Today we baked cupcakes and cookies . by the creaming method.

Compared to my teacher's healthier version of our cupcake. (pictures below)  Our cupcakes are darker than our teacher's. Both of them rose up nicely. The texture of the healthier one was more crumbly and harder. The taste of it was less flavourful as there were lesser butter and sugar added.

We can make our cupcakes healthier by adding lesser sugar and butter. We can also add fruits into our cupcakes, like blueberries, strawberries and also nuts, like walnuts and almonds.

I prefer the less healthy version because it was much more fragrant and tastes richer than the healthier one.

Today, I cooked chicken rice. We added sliced tomatoes, cucumber to make the meal healthier. We baked the chicken instead of stir fry to make the dish healthier as well.

Below is our bento.

Today, I cooked lasagna. We made the white sauce and the tomato sauce with minced chicken.  We added a layer of tomato sauce, then pasta then white sauce. We then repeated that. At the top we added cheese and put the entire thing to the oven to brown it. It was a very savoury and filling dish, which requires high manipulative skills.

Today, we baked pizza and steamed brownies. We placed cheese in the crust of the pizza and baked it for 5 minutes before taking it out and putting the rest of the ingredients.For the brownies, it was really spongey and soft.

In what ways have you met the task demands? (Keywords : healthy, manipulative
skills)
- I made a dish that is healthy because of the inclusion of fruits (blueberries) and the exclusion of whipped cream.

Reflect on the practical test session
❏ Were you able to manage time?
- Yes, I did everything to time as i have practiced doing it at home..
❏ Did you face difficulties? How did you overcome them?
- I burnt my shortcake. I decided to cut off the burnt pieces and formed another format for presentation.
❏ How would you have done it differently?
- I would have added more variety of fruits like strawberries. I could have also aerate my mixture to give it a more softer feel.

Reflect on the food blogging process
❏ How useful were the nutritional tools?
- It helped me organise my ingredients and was part of my decision making for the final recipe.
❏ How manageable were the manipulative skills for you?
- I think i managed the manipulative skills quite well but not the best.
❏ How purposeful were the investigative activities in helping you come
up with your final creation?
- They helped me arrive at a final recipe which i thought was manageable with the time and it has nutritional value.

With respect to my goals, what was my proudest moment?
The proudest moment was when i served my dish because although i made mistakes, i was glad i preserved most of my pastry and serve it.
With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?
My greatest challenge was usually cook a meal as i found it hard to multi task on different dishes, like the rice and the meat and the vegetables. I got really confused with the timings. I managed to overcome it by checking on them from time to time and taking note of the time.
