Home Economics

Our Year 7 programme has now moved on from the emphasis of measurement although that element is always an issue re accurate measuring and confidence in measuring independently.  Our new  unit is titled  "Breakfasts " and incorporates a series of lessons on the need for a healthy breakfast before they leave home and ways basic breakfast foods can be cooked with a difference.

I.e. a bowl of porridge cereal  could be instead Oatmeal hotcakes served not with butter but with honey.

I really encourage parents and caregivers to insist that their children have breakfast before they leave home and at the weekend to offer students the opportunity to cook for the family.

Students need an apron or a teatowel which I can make into an apron for them.  Wearing the correct apparel in the cooking room protects their uniform.
