Cooking up a storm in Cairde 1

Our junior pupils love getting into the kitchen to cook and bake regularly. Getting pupils involved in cooking and baking can support a wide range of developmental, social, and life skills. It is often a highly motivating, hands-on activity that naturally incorporates learning across many areas such as measuring, mixing, pouring and decorating. It helps to develop important life skills while having fun. Cooking activities provide opportunities to practise communication, turn-taking, following instructions and early numeracy skills in a meaningful, hands-on way. Pupils show great enthusiasm and independence throughout, taking pride in creating and sharing their delicious treats. 🍪🧁

Recently, we have made sesame noodles, pizza and brown bread. Nobody was too impressed with the noodles unfortunately.
