Place the speck or proscuitto onto a baking sheet and place under the grill for 3-4 minutes, or until crisp. Remove speck and place on a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain.
Cut both chicken breasts through the middle, without cutting through, to form one large flat piece. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper and brush with olive oil.
Heat a griddle pan until hot then place the chicken breasts on it and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until just cooked through.
Heat a frying pan until hot and add the butter and then the cubed bread. Fry until golden brown, then remove.
Separate the leaves from the lettuce and cut into chunky pieces.
For the dressing, in a medium saucepan, bring the garlic and wine to a boil and simmer for about 5 minutes, until the cloves have softened. Leave to cool.
Combine the wine and garlic with the egg yolks, anchovy and cheese in a mixing bowl. Blend with a hand blender or food processor until smooth. Drizzle in the oil in a thin steady stream, taking care not to add it too quickly, otherwise it could split and curdle. Stir in the mustard and add seasoning to taste.
Add the crisp-fried speck, croutons and lettuce to the dressing and toss to combine. To serve, place salad on plate, top with chicken and pour the dressing over.
Earlier on this month we went to theNorth east school awards. We were nominated for the school newspaper award and Mr Kipling for the head teacher of the year. They were presented by Metro radio presenters Steve and Karen. Our newspaper was shortlisted in a list of two schools. The other papers name was Hetton headlines. It was a great day out and both us and Mr Kipling came runners up in our categories.
Since the Wyvern won a Shine Award on the 25th June 2012 and we received Quark XPress 9 for 1 year, we've decided to re-vamp the newspaper so we would like some feedback so we can make the Wyvern even better. So please could you fill in the form below...
On the way home from the Shine Awards on Monday 25th June, the Wyvern team came up with some new ideas for the paper which will start a new era for media at DSMS and in the Cockerton Area.
So 2 weeks later, some of the Wyvern Team and a new teacher talking over the job of overlooking the Wyvern had a meeting where the Editor, Liam Pape, showed them a presentation with their ideas summarised. (Above)
The meeting started off with a video about the Wyvern (Newspaper, TV Show and Website) and what they have achived so far in the last 2 years of the paper. (Below)
Then we started the presentation. The main changes that will hopefully be happening to the newspaper are that it will be made 16 pages, include advertisements and once again be mailed to the community.
The TV Studio is going fine at the moment however getting it out to the community is the main problem so we are going to try and get it embedded onto the homepage of the School website.
Finally, the Wyvern Website, we hope to buy our own domain for personalised e-mail addresses and a personal web address so the website is easier to find.
