Today in Cooking Club we made our very own hot chocolate toppers, perfect for a cosy winter or Christmas drink! The children melted both milk and white chocolate, then carefully added a lollipop stick to each one. They had lots of fun decorating their toppers with marshmallows and sprinkles to make them look extra festive. Everyone made a topper to take home and share with someone special in their family. It’s a lovely way to sit down together, enjoy a warm hot chocolate, and

Year 5 had great fun making pasta as part of their DT project! They carefully and accurately measured and prepared their ingredients, showing fantastic attention to detail.

After preparing the dough, each child personalised their bread by choosing their own extra ingredient. They could add cheese, currants,

Then we popped it into the oven — and soon the whole room was filled with the lovely smell o

In cooking club, we made healthy vegetable skewers by cutting up fresh vegetables such as peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes and onions. We then added pieces of chicken or halloumi to create a colourful and balanced snack.

We learned that using Quorn mince and plenty of vegetables is a healthy way to make this classic dish, reducing fat while still keeping it tasty and filling.
