Reaching high for the best for your child

On Monday 26th April, eight pupils and two parents from Year 1 attended the very first cooking club session. They made a basic scone recipe but were shown how it can easily be adapted to be either sweet or savoury based.

The children worked in twos and made the following flavours: Cheese and herb / Cheese and Sun-dried tomatoes / Cherry / Currant

The main skill which was learnt was "rubbing-in" which is going to prove to be very useful over the next few weeks as they are going to be concentrating on recipes using scones as their base. They will be making pizza scones, meat cobbler and fruit crumbles.

A great skill for safely cutting small ingredients with scissors was also learnt. The ingredients go into a paper cup and then you cut them inside the cup without the scissors having to go near your fingers. Ir was very easy for everyone and great fun - try it at home and see what you think!

Our scones smelt amazing and made us all very hungry whilst we were cleaning up. Everyone got to take a selection home with them to share with their families and the comments were great. All eight children said that they'd enjoyed their first session and were looking forward to doing more cooking both at school and at home.
