\"\"<\/a>Kilchrenan Primary has been eating its way around the world.\u00a0 Using the book, “Let\u2019s Eat”, pupils used the experiences and cultures of other children, to reflect on their diets, life styles and skills.\u00a0 They learned about the importance of breakfast, and the wide variety of foods used in celebrations.\u00a0 Each stop on the journey involved a session cooking, baking and, of course, eating.<\/p>\n

The children prepared Condensed Milk Pudding from South Africa, Salsa from Mexico,\u00a0Spicy Eggs from Thailand, chocolate cake with yoghurt from France and Jamie Oliver’s chocolate cookies.<\/p>\n

Along the way, they learned all about cookery verbs like cut, dice, whisk, skim, fold, mix and trim.\u00a0 They demonstrated their skills with knife handling and safe use of kitchen equipment, as well as\u00a0debating\u00a0what made for a healthy diet.<\/p>\n

The culmination was a celebration for which all pupils,\u00a0from P2 to P7\u00a0were asked to cook or prepare a dish at home to be brought in and shared. There were cheesecakes, chocolate mousses, strawberry biscuits, savoury pasties and cookies, and all showing much flair and many skills.<\/p>\n
