Cooks in the Classroom

This blog is a record of some of the learning in our cooking club. While students get the opportunity to make tasty food, and learn simple skills for the kitchen. They are also learning all sorts of other useful skills: How to read recipes and follow instructions. Measuring and fractions. Communication and interpersonal skills. Budgets, individual needs, cultural impacts on food choices and healthy options. Cooking is a mixture of Health and Technology in the New Zealand Curriculum.

Jelly or Jello?

If you live in America and ask for Jelly, you'd find yourself given a jar of JAM!
but here in New Zealand ask for Jelly and you'd be given a fruity flavored, brightly coloured gelatin dessert.

We looked up the origins of Jelly and maybe you don't really want to know!

We decided to make Traffic Light Jellies.
This involves layering different coloured jellies in clear cups. It looks really neat when all set and doesn't require any cooking, just boiling water from the kettle.

Great to see children from different classes and age groups working alongside each other.
