Making Food for Our Family

Today, I was given a challenge to make my family pizza for dinner with some hot chips. Getting the pizza in and out of the oven was a really hard job for me to do because I kept burning myself. I had my nana helping me to so I won't get hurt. With the hot chips, I had to be very careful when I put them into the oil because the oil was very very hot and I knew it would burn me if it splashed me. Everyone said the food tasted like it had lots of cheese in it but they all liked it a lot. I know this because there was none left!

This a google draw that was created by Jane and Juanita. This drawing was based on migration and what migration is about.
