Making Pizza for Labour Day

Last week, during Extension, we all got to make pizza. The whole activity was based on Labour Day and how it all started. First we researched a bit about Labour Day and then we got into partners and started planning. We planned about what we would put onto our pizzas to make them related to Labour Day.

After lunch, we finished off our planning and got to work. We used tomato paste, cheese, ham, salami, pineapple and capsicum. My partner was Khaia and it was heaps of fun working with her!

To start off, we spread the Tomato Paste onto the pizza base, we then made a circle in the middle of the pizza with salami ready to write our 28 with ham. The reason for 28 is the first time Labour Day was celebrated was on the 28 of October so we thought we would do that. We also put 28 pieces of ham onto it and put 8 pineapple pieces and 8 bits of capsicum showing the 8 hour working days. (What Labour Day is all about) *

To finish off we put a boarder of ham and salami all around the edge of the pizza. Just before we put the pizza into the oven, we took a picture then in it went. After waiting for a bit, we took all of the pizzas out of the oven and started cutting. Khaia and I went around the school giving out pizza to some of the teachers and came back just in time to eat our delicious pizza!

I really enjoyed making those pizzas but the thing that I enjoyed the most of finding out about Labour Day and being able to go away not only with a slice of pizza, but knowing what this weekend is all about!

* Labour Day was created so workers would only have to work for 8 hrs. Lots of people agreed that everyone should only work for 8 hrs all the time so that they could spend time with their families. But the council would not agree to this but agreed to having a day that nobody would work. (Labour Day) It was Mondayised in 1910.

Here is a short movie that Khaia and I made. It shows what we did ...Enjoy:

  6. Amazing Ana,

    I thought that your super long story was worth the read. I loved that you made pizza with numbers to show how many hours men worked for, that is just terrific. Even thou I did't get the chance to make pizza it felt as if I was making pizza. The movie was terrific. Don't you think making pizzas for extension is great?

    Keep up the great work Ana.
