cafe | Food for Thought: Education Fund

The Primary 7 children have been developing a range of food preparation skills since we got our new café up and running and they decided to put these skills to good use last week! The class invited their parents and grandparents into the school to receive a cooking lesson.

We were delighted to see lots of parents and some grandparents coming into our kitchen and café and being taught how to make a healthy pizza by their children.

The children used and demonstrated a range of food preparation skills such as chopping and grating and took responsibility for setting up their workstations and ensuring that everything was safely and hygienically put away afterwards.

The pizzas were delicious and lots of the parents and children said they were going to make their own healthy pizzas at home for the rest of the family. A great success for the Primary 7 children!

On Friday 8^th November 2013, the Primary 7 class from Tulliallan Primary hosted a Sustainability Event to which they invited all classes and also parents and carers.

The event was an opportunity for the children to share their learning about Climate Change and sustainability. Prior to the event, Primary 7 spent lots of time in class learning about the causes and impact of climate change. They also worked with Primary 5 to learn more about Food Miles, the impact these have on the environment and about local, in-season produce. This work was then developed further with P7 carrying out Maths activities to investigate the food miles of various recipes, sharing their learning with Primary 3 and then buddying up with Primary 3 to bake using local produce.

The end result was a Café area that served the food created by P3 and P7 and a trade show in the Primary 7 classroom to highlight the benefits of reusing food packaging waste.
