Cooking in KS 2
Every pupil in KS2 has an opportunity to prepare, cook and serve a two-course lunch each year.
We are very lucky to have a dedicated, fully stocked kitchen where children learn about food safety, knife skills, sauce making, baking, piping, kneading dough and even the importance of food presentation. Each year group makes a differnet meal and this ranges from making pasta to curry so that the skills the children use are built on each year.
Each group chooses a guest that they would like to invite for lunch and prepare a meal for. The children write invitiations to their chosen staff member, cook and prepare a meal, set the table and then enjoy their meal together. Eating their meal together is a perfect way for the children to evaluate and reflect on what they’ve enjoyed and learnt.
