5M- Greek Pizza Making

By

Over the last two days, Year 5 have been testing and tasting, exploring and designing, making and evaluating traditional Greek pizzas. 5M has really enjoyed learning about the foods that originate from Greece and then tasting different toppings before making their own pizzas- pizza dough included! This was a brilliant DT project and a fantastic hook to our writing unit where we will be writing a set of instructions.

Gingerbread Man English HOOK 1M

By

Today, Year 1 went to Bowkervale’s kitchen to make Gingerbread men. This was part of our English ‘hook’ as we are going to be learning how to write instructions on how to make a Gingerbread man over the next few weeks. The children loved being in the kitchen and getting involved in the making and baking process. They poured, mixed, measured, rolled, cut and decorated their gingerbread and enjoyed eating them before they ran away!
Now we will recap on our experience to write a really good set of instructions for others to read and follow.

Porridge making

By

We made porridge at the start of our topic ‘Did you ever hear the story of…’ We will be looking at lots of different traditional tales and focussing mainly on Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The children had a great time putting in the ingredients, stirring the porridge and of course eating it all up! Thankfully it tasted ‘just right’. The children then washed up their own bowls and spoons!

Summer Veg Flan

By

Hello Families

For those who don’t know me my name is Mrs Heald

I have worked at BV with children and families for many years

One of my big passions is cooking vegetarian and vegan food from all around the world.

I love making and baking cakes, sweet, treats and goodies. I love a good foodie challenge too.

I enjoy using herbs and spices and I like to make elaborate food but I also love the challenge of making a ‘rustle up meal’ using what ingredients you have left in your fridge at the end of the week. I don’t believe in food waste so I try to be creative and use up whatever I have in my store cupboard and fridge.

 I am going to share a recipe with you that I hope you will enjoy cooking with your children. I thought that this summer recipe is easy to make, inexpensive and fun.

Easy veg puff Pastry Summer Tart

Ingredients                                                           

320g sheet puff pastry                                          

8 cherry tomatoes

50g cheddar cheese grated and more to add on top

Any veg you have left over peppers sliced or mushrooms, courgettes, chargrill them first if

You have time, it brings out the natural sweetness of the veg.

Its whatever is to your taste. If you like chilies add those too.

Method

Heat your oven to 200c/180 fan/gas 6

Roll out the pastry onto a lined baking sheet .

Using the tip of a sharp knife mark a 2cm border around the edge of the pastry.

Brush the pastry over with the beaten egg, bake for 10 minutes, leave to cool for 5 minutes

Press down the middle with your hands and leave the border

Mix the rest of the egg with cheese and spread out on the base then add your veg.

And if you want to, grate some more cheese on top.

Return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes.

If you have any leftover basil or a jar of pesto just add it to your base or add to the vegetables.

Enjoy!!!
