During Cookery in Enrichment on Friday afternoon the pupils followed a set of visual instructions to support them to collect all the ingredients and utensils they needed to make a cream of vegetable soup and chocolate chip cookies. The pupils adhered to health and hygiene in the kitchen and health and safety in the kitchen. Everyone demonstrated the safety of washing hands first and collecting PPE to protect their clothing. Following a group discussion they identified the correct chopping board to use for the vegetables. Throughout the lesson their was times when the pupils had to think and problem solve to increase their independence and learn life skills such as, how much water to boil the vegetables in and how big or small shall I chop the vegetables? Two of the group worked with Miss Taylor to make a batch of chocolate chip cookies. At the end of the lesson Mrs Devlin went round the group and asked each pupil to identify a skill they have learnt and how it made them feel about themselves. Finley responded ” I feel great, I can make a soup from scratch”! Well done everyone the soup tasted absolutely amazing.
