Jess has developed a series of sessions that cover a range of skills and build on one another over the 6 weeks. Your children will learn SO MUCH from Jess and after the 6 weeks their learning journey will be incredible. SOME of these amazing skills include:

Baking, whisking, creaming, aerating, beating, folding, making blended sauces, rubbing in technique, kneading, grating, rolling, blending, caramelizing,  raw meat handling, health and safety, knife skills, slicing, dicing, claw, bridge, peeling etc the list really does go on and on!

When learning cooking skills we also build - gross motor skills. These include hand eye coordination, manual dexterity and safe handling of foods. Your child will also learn and enhance their fine motor skills through whisking, measuring, pouring, sifting, rolling, cutting etc.

Cooking classes build social skills. Children will be encouraged to work alone, in pairs, in groups and will be encouraged to be creative and share their ideas around and bounce ideas around the 'class'. Your child will learn about responsibility within group work, cooperation, and sharing. Cook n Create sessions are a safe and fun place to build confidence and self esteem in themselves, in a group environment and in the kitchen! Ever the high school teacher, Jess will always end a session with a fun plenary which consolidate learning in a fun way. It gives time for reflection of learning and helps to build a clear platform for further learning. CLICK HERE to see an example of Jess in action! 

Numeracy, literacy and oracy are built during Cook n Create sessions. There are learning opportunities at every turn and Jess never misses them! Your child will learn to apply counting, fractions, division, sequencing, and problem solving. They will learn to follow clear instructions, add their individual creativity during the session and increase their vocabulary. They will do this whilst having FUN... We can't stress this enough! 

Your child will also learn about chemistry and science in foods and how foods react and change. They will learn Geography through discussions around where foods come from, how they grow, They will learn cultural preferences and diets of people from around the world.
