COOKING!
This week we have been very busy making a range of foods!
Cheese Twists 🧀
The children enjoyed making delicious cheese twists for snack. Everyone took turns rolling out the puff pastry, sprinkling on the cheese, and twisting the pastry into their own unique designs.
Salad Making 🥗
We talked about making healthy choices by creating our own healthy salads. The children explored a variety of vegetables using their senses, discussing how they looked, felt, smelled, and tasted. They used fantastic descriptive language, such as bumpy, before carefully chopping the vegetables and adding them to their salads. Everyone was encouraged to try a range of vegetables, including beetroot, spinach, lettuce, carrot, rhubarb, cucumber, and pepper. They did a great job!
Whole School Cooking Day 👩🍳🧑🍳 Preschool joined in with Whole School Cooking Day. Throughout the day, the children explored a variety of ingredients using their senses and learned about food preparation.
In the morning, they made mini pizzas by cutting out wrap bases, spreading tomato purée, chopping their chosen toppings, and sprinkling on cheese before watching them bake. In the afternoon, they made pancakes by measuring and mixing the ingredients, watching them cook, and choosing their favourite toppings to enjoy.
Throughout the day, we talked about the importance of good hygiene, making sure to wash our hands before and during our cooking activities. 😋
