Cookery at Great Linford Primary School

 ​At Great Linford, we have introduced Cookery and Nutrition into the school. In these lessons, they learn vital skills to sue which will allow them to be safe when cooking and how to reduce any risks when using equipment or cooking. We will teach them how to use Knives safely and correctly making sure they are using techniques shown to them by their Teacher. These lessons will be made so they will have mostly practical sessions with a small amount of theory-based work which is also really important. With the theory session, we are looking at building their Knowledge about the food groups, what foods are in each group and what each of these do for us. This will also help with their sports.

In this first lesson, we started off with working on their knife skills, with this lesson we introduced how to use a knife correctly. All the Children enjoyed getting stuck in with the practical side of the lesson using the equipment and know its all in a safe environment.

​As part of our theory-based lesson, we have looked at the different food groups where each child had to put their favourite meal into a food plate and put each ingredient into the correct Category of the food group wheel.  Also in this lesson, we looked at how each of the food groups helps use, what each do for are body.
