What will you put in your Greek flatbread?

This year, each class will be cooking as part of their Arts Fortnight. 5J made a brilliant start, keeping the Greek theme to learn the skills to prepare a Greek salad bar.
Hands washed and aprons on, they were ready to cook. They first learned to peel, grate and chop safely using the claw grip and bridge hold to prepare a delicious salad of carrot, cucumber, tomato, pepper and cheddar cheese.
They loved loading their pitta pocket with the salad to make a snack containing all the main food groups: carbohydrate, vegetables and fruit, protein, dairy and oils and spreads.

The Greek flatbreads themselves were made of self raising flour and Greek yogurt, cooked in a dry frying pan. Such a simple bread, which must have been around since the times of the Ancient Greeks, and which makes an easy snack, even today. The children, learned how to cook safely with heat and that they should always do this with adult supervision. The flatbreads didn’t last long – must have been good!

And here we are, busily using all our skills to prepare our slightly Greek salad bar to share with our parents at the Arts Fortnight Celebration.
