Food Technology

During the last few weeks of lockdown our Food Technology classes have been encouraged to continue their practical cooking skills at home. Students have been set a variety of challenges such as:

• Cooking foods relating to their Cultural heritage
• Using a maximum of 6 ingredients already in their pantry/fridge
• Giving a traditional dish a modern twist

It is great to see the variety of foods the students are preparing - though there is definitely a theme of sweet foods being the favourites!

A number of Year 9 classes had their much awaited Children’s Birthday Cake Practical assessment task postponed due to the sudden lockdown. However, some students took advantage of the interruption and used the extra time at home to conduct a test run of their cake designs. The cakes look fantastic and from all accounts they were a big hit at home too!
