As part of this term’s WWII topic, Primary 4-7 created some authentic rationing recipes today. P4 made fruity buns using a range of dried and fresh fruit ingredients. P5-7 created carrot biscuits. Each group had to select ingredients and use equipment hygienically and safely. Maths skills were required through weighing and measuring activities.
We used the stimulus to write our own instruction text recipes, using ‘bossy’ imperative verbs and key language features.
The class tasted both recipes and evaluated them for taste, presentation and appeal. We were about 60/40 on the fruity buns, but it was a resounding thumbs up from everyone for the carrot biscuits.
To add to our creative flare, we undertook a challenge to plan a party dish from limited wartime ingredients.
Throughout it all, the class enjoyed listening to wartime songs. There was even a little sing along to Run Rabbit Run 🙂
