Year 3 - Let's Get Cooking
This term, we launched ‘Let’s Get Cooking’ at Gray’s Farm – an enjoyable, hands-on cooking programme that runs for five weeks at school. This has been incredibly successful and feedback from participating parents and children has been very positive. As a result, we would like to open this opportunity up to year 3 students throughout Summer 2. The 5 sessions will be completely free and are aimed at developing healthy cooking skills, in a fun way, alongside a family member (over 18). Each term, children from the chosen year group, will have the chance to cook and prepare, from scratch, a selection of starters, mains and desserts - all of which they will get to take home for other family members to sample. On the 5th week, the children will design and prepare a 3 course, sit-down meal for their teachers and two of their family members to enjoy, served by the children. At the end of the course, all participating families, will receive a certificate and all of the recipes cooked.
Throughout Summer 2, there are 8 spaces available for children from year 3. Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis, and require you to commit to all 5 sessions. The Club will run on Mondays, from 2:00pm until the end of the school day. The first session will start on Monday 12th June. Preparation and cooking will take place in the school kitchens and dining hall, with enough equipment and ingredients for each child and their adult to cook together.
If you would like to be part of this exciting new programme, please complete the slip going home today and return to the school office, for the attention of Mrs Appleton, by Wednesday 17th May.
