Autumn 1 and 2

This term, the children will take part in the Food: What Could Be Healthier? unit, where they will learn about food preparation, nutrition and cooking skills. They will explore how ingredients can be combined to create healthy, balanced meals, whilst developing key practical skills such as preparing ingredients safely and using a range of cooking techniques.

As part of this unit, the children will plan, prepare and evaluate their own spaghetti bolognese. They will apply their learning in a real-life context by helping to prepare this dish for our Community Warm Space on 2nd December, where members of the local community will be invited to enjoy a hot meal. This meaningful project will allow the children to develop their cooking skills while demonstrating care, responsibility and service to others within our community.
