Acer Tree Mini Chef- Veggie Fajitas!

On Friday, it was Acer Tree's turn to take part in 'Mini Chef'. As a class we decided to make vegetarian fajitas. We all had a go at chopping various vegetables and even took part in bagging up our delicious wraps ready to sell after school!

Mini Chef with Year 6 Linden

This half term, Linden Class took part in their Mini Chef lesson, where they made and sold a roasted pepper and sweet potato soup.

Prior to this, the children had a lesson in the classroom where they learnt about seasonality and which foods grow in the United Kingdom during Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer. They then discussed how food is imported from around the world and the impact of eating sustainably. 

Below are some photos of the children chopping onions and sweet potatoes and blending the ingredients together.

They had a great time! 

Year 6 Elder - minichef

Year 6 Elder spent Friday morning cooking a delicious Lancashire Hot Pot which they went on to sell in the playground at the end of the day. We chose the recipe based on our current learning about seasonality and food miles.

Mini-Chef in Y3 Chestnut

This week Year 3 Chestnut took part in Mini-Chef and had a fantastic day in the community kitchen! We prepared vegetarian pitta pizzas with a side of potato wedges. Everyone had a chance to practise chopping vegetables and grating cheese, before assembling a healthy pizza each. We also designed our own colourful food labels and posters to appeal people buying our food at the end of the day.

Last week Apple Class in Reception showed off their chopping skills when preparing our vegetables for our Tomato and Vegetable Pasta. We cooked all of the vegetables together before adding the tomatoes. We were super excited to see all of the ingredients cooking together. 

We hope you enjoyed it!
