P3,4,5, the Master Chefs!

Today’s last lesson with Mrs Farqhar was an opportunity for the pupils to use the skills that they had been learning and developing over the past few weeks.

This week’s challenge was to prepare the vegetables for lentil soup, which meant the pupils had to use their sharp knife skills again. Everyone remembered the two hand grips when using a sharp knife: the claw and the bridge. Mrs Farqhar was very impressed.

The pupils also learned about our dietary requirements and the use of salt in cooking. Mrs Farqhar suggested that all food should be tasted before more salt is added, especially when using stock cubes.

Everyone gained lots of new skills and knowledge during the lessons and were keen to help and cook more at home.

The H.E. lessons were a great success:

‘I learned some recipes that I can make at home without a cooker’ – Daisy P3

‘I learned about how to hold my sharp knife and how to hold the food with a claw and a bridge’ – Joe P4

‘I want to cook lots at home’ – Oscar P3
