Last Friday on the 15 June, 12 kids from Room 4
(plus Chi) went to the soccer tournament at Saxton Field. The remaining seven
stayed at school and made pizza.
We made the dough at school and brought the toppings
from home. While we worked we listened to Emma’s music. We cut up the topping and
grated a whole block of cheese. After a break to wash our hands, we kneaded the
dough. While we were at assembly we let the dough rise on the fire in bowls. They
looked like butt cheeks because they were all squished together.
After assembly we kneaded it again until we could
feel it was soft and stretchy and then we rolled it out. We each put some
toppings on our own and popped then into a hot oven. Not long after that we ate
them and they were delicious.
The recipe that we used was really good. Jane has
been using it for years after a parent gave it to her. If you would like to try
it out, the recipe is below the photos.
