Cooking with Athena
This week Olympia's mum Athena came in to cook and make...
Spanakopita
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 brown onions, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 600g baby spinach, washed, dried, trimmed
- 1/4 cup dill leaves, chopped
- 900g Greek feta cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 eggs, lightly beaten
- 375g packet filo pastry
- 100g butter, melted
Method
Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring, for 6 minutes or until soft. Add spinach and dill. Remove from heat. Cover and set aside for 5 minutes or until spinach wilts. Transfer to a sieve. Using a wooden spoon, press as much liquid from spinach mixture as possible. Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Add feta, pepper and egg. Season with salt. Mix well to combine.
Preheat oven to 200°C. Grease a 5cm deep, 30cm x 38cm (base) baking dish (see note).
Place 1 pastry sheet on workbench. Brush with melted butter. Top with 2 pastry sheets. Brush with butter. Continue to layer pastry, brushing every second layer with butter, to form 10 layers. Use pastry layers to line base of baking dish. Spoon spinach mixture over pastry.
Using remaining 10 pastry sheets and butter, repeat step 3. Use pastry layers to cover spinach filling. Using a sharp knife, score top of pastry into 24 squares. Brush top with butter. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until golden and crisp. Allow to cool completely in pan. Refrigerate, covered, for 4 hours or overnight if time permits.
Cut spanakopita into squares. Serve warm or cold.

We are the children from 1SW at Rosendale and we have been looking at and enjoying your blog. We really liked the pictures of your trip to the Immigration Centre and the food you were making.
We wanted to ask you guys a few questions about Australia. We have been talking about what to say as a class and have come up with 4 questions:
1) What playground games do you play?
2) What is it like to have a hot and sunny Christmas?
3) What is your favourite food?
4) What are your favourite animals?
We look forward to hearing your answers and getting any questions from you!
Take care and thanks for making a great blog!

Tom's model
Tom (3/4K) made a model of a character, Abercrombie, from the short animation, Vincent, by Tim Burton. He got the inspiration from the book he purchased from the Tim Burton exhibition at ACMI. He documented the process in a very comprehensive project book. Fantastic work, Tom!!

Student Book Reviews
The Owl Service
By Alan Garner
It all started when Alison heard the scratching in the roof, but when Gwyn finds the dinner service something seems wrong.
something is happening in a Welsh valley, but only Huw knows what it is and how to stop it. Alison, Roger, and Gwyn don't understand, except one day Gwyn finds out what they are facing.
I highly recommend it.

Eyes nose by Paul Jennings
It is about a boy that can't make up his mind. Then he gets a robot. When he pulls his nose the eyes spin. When they stop they're either red or green. For example, if they were green he would buy two hamburgers but if they were red he would not. Then he got into trouble with it. Luckily his friend breaks it!
