Make a picnic at QES

Year 2 had a fabulous time making their own seaside picnic at QES last week. The 6^th Formers (all Food Technology students) were great! Once the children had their plastic aprons on, they showed the children what to do, watching closely as they practised their cutting, slicing and grating skills. The resulting pizzas looked and tasted amazing. The children were able to select from a wide range of accompanying salad and I was impressed by the amount of salad leaves devoured. A trip to see the A Level Art and D&T exhibition followed and then it was onto the exotic fruit tasting session, where everyone was encouraged to try something different. To finish off, it was back to the kitchen to decorate a cupcake disguised as an ‘ice cream’ – definitely a high point.

Thank you so much to Kyle, Kiera, Erin, Erica, Charlotte, Kate and of course Mrs Falcus for inviting us and for making it such a wonderful experience. Year 2 enjoyed every minute!
