Making Pikelets

Yesterday we made pikelets in the Fast Track Zone. Read about our experiences and spot how many language features we have used.


Pikelets by Cohen

I was so excited because we were going to eat pikelets. The sizzling melting butter sounded like a rattle snake's tail shaking. I could see bubbles popping like popcorn. The burning hot pan was like a burning hot meteor. The pikelets tasted like honey toast. The pikelets felt like a trampoline. The butter was runny like a waterfall. The bubbles were bumpy like camel humps. It was really tasty and delicious to eat. There was a tiny, tiny pikelet that was the size of a mouse.

"Yay, another language experience!" I could smell all the yummy ingredients. These were baking powder, flour, milk and vanilla. I could hear people saying excitedly, "I want a turn, I want a turn!"
As I was watching the pikelets being made, I was reminded of rain splattering on the wet pavement. The ingredients bubbled like a steaming hot mud pit, it was so delicious in my mouth. It tasted so sweet it reminded me of a cupcake.


The huge pikelet! by Jake

I felt really excited when it was time for me to make my own pikelet. When I picked up the spoon I poured the creamy mixture, it was huge! "Woah!" the boys said. The pikelet was the size of a golden pancake. Two minutes later I was going to flip the pikelet. I flipped it and it landed on its side, argghhh! My masterpiece is ruined.

Welcome to the Fast Track Zone! - Meet the team

We're all about accelerating learning in the "Fast Track Zone." Room 16 is the location for a number of programmes lead by a number of teachers. You may be a new learner of English and will be developing your oral and written language skills with Mrs Smith, Mrs MacFarlane, Mrs Yong, Mrs Ham or Mrs Yang. Mrs Millett, Mrs Thorburn, Mrs Brown and Mrs Janes will be accelerating learning in reading, writing and maths. Mrs Deighton and Mrs Shore will also be leading learning in phonological awareness and fine motor programmes. It's going to be a really busy place!!!
