What a great first week in Cooking Club. The group from Year 3 and 4 will be practising their cooking skills and making a variety of dishes, savoury and sweet. This week, they prepared their own delicious Pitta Pockets and learned food hygiene routines and the Bridge and Claw techniques for cutting using a kitchen knife. A great start everyone. Mr Arnett, Mrs Elliott and Mrs Price were really impressed!
Well done to all the children who helped to bake cupcakes and cookies for the Colour Run Bake Sale. A huge thank you to parent Mrs Vishnureddy who came into school to cook the delicious Onion Bhaji’s and told us that we should fill our food with happiness. We had a lot of fun and the Bake Sale raised over £200 for Comic Relief. Great effort everyone.
Happy Holi
The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
In a beautiful pea-green boat,
They took some honey and plenty of money
Wrapped up in a five-pound note.
Learning this classic poem by Edward Lear inspired Year 2 to make some delicious Great Green Soup. They used knives safely to chop courgette, celery and cabbage before cooking the soup with water and vegetable stock. Finally, the soup was blended to make the fantastic green colour.
Well done to all the children for developing their cutting and snipping skills and for trying a new dish. This super healthy soup tasted great.
As part of their Arts Fortnight, 3A explored a brief for the creation of Room 17 (a space to create, make, invent, inspire, be entrepreneurial, use and share skills). They explored what it means to be part of a community and how they could be someone special. Read more about this in the ACE Art Blog.
As part of their work, they explored Food in our ACE community and prepared some Food in our ACE Cafe to share with their parents at their Arts Celebration.
They discussed recipes they like to cook at home and chose to prepare Falafel with Guacamole, Salsa, Tzatziki, Houmous and Baba Ganoush to share at the celebration.
They used the skills of grating, scraping, mashing, chopping and mixing, using fresh vegetables, chickpeas, herbs and spices to create their delicious dishes.
It was great to share our healthy food and try new flavours.
Take a look at the foods we love to cook at home!
