Cooking in Crocodile Class

Our Design and Technology in Crocodile Class this term is ‘Eat the Seasons’. We are learning that particular vegetables grow at specific times of the year as they have evolved to grow in line with seasonal conditions, such as the temperature and rainfall. 

We are also learning how to prepare and cook those vegetables for eating. This week, we worked together as a class to make a ‘Winter Vegetable and Lentil Soup’. We discussed the bridge hold and claw grip for cutting, as well as how to slice and dice. The children measured out ingredients in grams and tablespoons, adding everything to our pot of delicious soup.

We were particularly impressed with the children’s dicing, and they were rewarded with a tasting portion of our warming winter wonder.
