Today in Design Technology, Year 6 had the chance to develop their cookery skills.
We started off by recalling all of the cooking that the class had done in previous years which included: making bread, pizza and even preparing the dishes for a Greek feast! Lots of children also talked about what they like to cook at home with and for their families.
Next, we learned all about today’s ‘hero ingredient’ which is salmon and how it is sourced. We created storyboards to describe how salmon progresses from ‘Farm to Fork’.
With our learning partners, we then created our recipe using these ingredients: salmon fillets, new potatoes, red peppers, onions, lemons, olive oil, salt, pepper and rocket. We had to decide how we wanted to prepare our potatoes, and whether we were roasting the lemons, peppers and onions, steaming them in with the salmon or serving them as a raw salad.
We had a great time preparing all of the food ourselves, taking care to follow the recipe sensibly and safely. Many of us also loved eating what we had prepared and didn’t have much appetite left for our lunch afterwards!
We were all really pleased with how our meals turned out and hopefully will be able to use our cooking skills at home in the future.
I loved the meal.IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOD
I loved cooking as it was really fun and tasty.I enjoyed making salmon and learning about how salmon are farmed and how it ends up on our plates. I can’t wait to do another cooking lesson and thank you to Mrs Healy and Miss Siswick for preparing this.

The food was absolutely amazing and I can’t wait to do more cooking activities! I learnt to ‘steam’ the salmon and made it at home yesterday. Friday was a really fun day and next year’s year 6 should definitely make the same recipe.
