Term 2 provided us with some amazing opportunities for cooking. We attended a Food and You careers experience day, at the Kumeu show grounds, catered for a Photography Exhibition Opening, Cooked for other members in the school as well as having a little bit of competition between ourselves! It was a fantastic term. Students worked well together, shared their ideas and demonstrated their developing and improving cooking skills. Well done to all of you.
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.

Thank you lunch for the club parents
Each term this year we have had wonderful parents, who give up their time and share their expertise with us in clubs. To thank them for all their efforts and patiences, the cooking club prepared a special lunch for them.
We had to think carefully about and special dietry needs, our budget and the time it would take to prepare and cook each dish.
We then decided that rather than boring old sausage rolls and club sandwiches we would really like to do something special so........
We planned a three course meal with all the trimmings!
We learnt how to set a table correctly with all the bells and whistles, the boys even found flowers in the school grounds to decorate.
Our meal consisted of: Tomato Soup with Bread Rolls
Moroccan Chicken and Potatoes
Apple Crumble with ice cream or cream.
We had so much fun and I think the parents all went away with very full tummies!
