Knowing how to prepare and cook food, then wash and dry up afterwards, is a vital life skill which brings great pleasure.
There's a very serious side to it, too. When children learn about food they learn about healthy eating and, above all, how to make healthy choices.
Every child at Thornlow has a one-hour weekly (??) lesson. We like to introduce them to ingredients outside their comfort zone. They learn about hygiene and how to work safely. They write up recipes.
This is a terrifically popular after school activity. The children take home what they have made - and a great many have started cooking at home in their spare time!

Year 1 and 2 have made porridge, scotch pancakes and melt in the mouth Scots shortbread. All the recipes were inspired by their Geography topic which focused on the Scottish Island of Coll. Coll is home to the author, Marie Hedderwick, who wrote the Katie Morag series. The series features escapades of a little girl who lives on the fictional Isle of Struay. The author based the setting and characters on her home island of Coll. Tiny Ted visited the island during the summer holidays and came back with lots of photographs and news which he shared during Geography lessons.
