Year 5 Get Cooking in Design Technology

Year 5 have been putting their Design Technology skills to the test by creating and preparing their very own spaghetti bolognese.

As part of their cooking project, the children followed a recipe from start to finish, carefully preparing all of the ingredients themselves. They developed their practical skills by chopping vegetables, measuring ingredients, and learning about safe and hygienic food preparation techniques.

The children showed great teamwork throughout the session as they cooked their meals, working together to create a delicious dish. They were able to see how individual ingredients combined to make a finished meal and enjoyed the satisfaction of tasting something they had prepared themselves.

After all their hard work, the best part arrived - sitting down together to enjoy their spaghetti bolognese!

The children were proud of what they had created and many discovered new flavours and ingredients along the way.

It was a fantastic opportunity for Year 5 to build their confidence in the kitchen, develop important life skills, and put their creativity and independence into practice.

Well done, Year 5!
