Respecting One Another

Get in touch

Let's Get Cooking. Year 4 become chefs for an afternoon.

Here at Becontree, we aim to educate children in choosing a healthy lifestyle, which, of course, includes healthy eating. With this in mind, as part of their Design Technology curriculum, Year 4 have been tasting soups and then rolling up their sleeves to make a vegetable soup. I was very impressed by the number of children who stated that they helped parents prepare meals at home, and certainly, vegetables seem to be a good part of the children's daily diet.

Soup tasting

Let's Get Cooking We used a carrot and coriander recipe from the Let's Get Cooking website, though we used extra veggie stock instead of milk. You could try it yourselves - cheap and nutritious. Try adding chick peas for more protein or cream for a creamier texture.

Hubble, bubble, toil and trouble. Fortunately we had none of the latter. The children were fantastic and just check out some of their individual design recipes. I hope they are tried at home.
