🍝 Cookery Club – Week 3 🍝 This week at Cookery Club, we made delicious mini pasta pots! 😋 We focused on developing key kitchen skills, including chopping, mixing, and portioning. Everyone worked really hard to prepare their ingredients carefully and combine them to create their own tasty pasta pots. It was great to see growing confidence in the kitchen, as well as some fantastic teamwork and creativity. Well done to everyone involved – we’re already looking forward to next week! 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳

The children had the opportunity to learn how to saw, measure, drill and hammer during this project and will be moving on to create dens for themselves with the skills they have mastered. We can't wait to see what they achieve! 🧡 Many thanks again to W.G Burbridge for their generous wood donation!

Cookery Club – Week 2 What a fantastic session we had this week making cheese and vegetable scones! The room was filled with delicious smells as our creations baked. It was brilliant to see how well pupils remembered their knife cutting skills, showing real progress and confidence. Our school values were shining through all session. Pupils showed great ambition in trying new skills, respect for each other and the equipment, and kindness by supporting one another throughout. We were especially proud of how everyone worked together at the end — washing up, wiping down tables, and tidying away as a team. Such important life skills! 🧑‍🍳 This week’s focus skills: Rubbing in | Mixing | Measuring A wonderful effort from all involved — well done! Next week we'll be making pasta pots!
