In Year 4 Design and Technology we have been making porridge just like they would have in Shang Dynasty times. The children weighed out the oats, milk, water and star anise for their recipes. They then mixed them well and they were all put together in a bowl ready to cook. The children then tasted the porridge so they could see what Shang Dynasty food might have tasted like. The response was mixed but lots of us thought it tasted really good!
During our DT lesson, we used the ingredients from the recipe that we had researched to make tzatziki. First, we had to measure out our ingredients. Then we used our chopping skills to slice a variety of ingredients and crush garlic. Finally we combined the ingredients together and mixed thoroughly. To end the lesson we tasted our own batch of tzatziki with some warm pitta bread!
Mrs Innerdale runs an Italian after school club every Tuesday evening. Tonight the children have been able to have a go at making their very own Italia food – pizzas with the help of Mrs Humble. The children all enjoyed this activity and were very pleased to be able to take their pizzas home for tea! Let’s hope they tasted as nice ad they looked!
Year 2 had a busy day on Fairtrade Friday making some delicious flapjacks and chocolate crispies. The children began by looking for the fairtrade logo on the ingredients and then followed the recipe to make.
Everyone took part and had lots of fun!
As part of our topic on ancient Egypt, we learnt how to make bread just like the ancient Egyptians did by following some instructions.
We started by mixing the yeast with some warm water. Then we measured out the flour and gradually added it to the yeast with some salt. Once it was all mixed together, we covered it and set it aside in a warm place. We waited for the yeast to work and the mixture to double in size, which took about 40 minutes.
After that, we split the dough into small balls and then used the palm of our hands to flatten the dough into small flat bread. We then had to cook the bread for about 6 minutes. As the bread was cooking, there was a lovely smell and then finally we could taste it – It was delicious!
