Good Morning Year 2!

I hope you have your chef’s hats ready because today we’re going to be busy in the kitchen, cooking with your family!
One of the most important ways to stay healthy is to eat healthily. Try to make a meal that would help you to have a balanced diet, with ingredients from the different sections of the eatwell plate.
Remember that whenever we make something in DT, there are three stages.
-
Design
-
Make
-
Evaluate
So we have to do the same with our cooking.
Design
The first stage is to design what you are going to make. Draw a picture of what you want it to look like and label your picture with all the ingredients. You can make your food look normal, or more creative like these sandwiches:
Make
When we make food, we normally follow a recipe. A recipe gives you steps to follow so that you can make something delicious. Here is a recipe for carrot and courgette muffins that you might like to try.
Some of you will have recipes that your parents know or that are from different countries. Make whatever you like, but please say which country your food comes from and where you found the recipe so we can learn about food from around the world!
Make sure you follow all the adult’s instructions while you are cooking. There are sharp knives in the kitchen and a very hot oven so you have to be careful. Don’t forget to wash your hands before you start so you don’t get your germs in the food!
Evaluate
Once you have made your food, here comes the best bit. You get to eat it! Enjoy your meal with your family.
- While you are eating, have a think:
- What did you like about your food?
- Did it look good?
- How did it taste?
- How could you make it even better?

Today I will make some salad. The stuff you will need to make salad is:
1. Lettuce.
2. Cucumber.
3. Tomato.
4. Green onion.
5. Salt and pepper.
6. Oil
Then you want to mix it up and then you are done.
That sounds delicious! Send us a photo once you have made it. The ‘stuff’ you need to make food is called ingredients 🙂
What did you like about your food?
I liked the part that it was so crunchy
Did it look good?
It looked so good
How did it taste?
It tasted so nice like a real sandwich.
How could you make it even better?
It could be even better if I put less mayo on top.
A wonderful evaluation Marisa! Your sandwich looked delicious!
I like the way you used your ingredients to make your sandwich into a face shape Marisa. I must say I love mayo so it would have been perfect for me.
Recipe for a sandwich
1. Toasted slice of bread for the head.
2. Spread some butter for the skin.
3. Get some hard boiled eggs and put them for the eyes on the bread.
4. Cut a tomato in the middle to make a mouth.
5. Get 2 leaves of lettuce and put them as hair.
6. Put some mayo for an extra touch.
Jack – your Anzac biscuits look amazing! How did they taste?
Wow Jack your biscuits would pass the Bake Off test – they all look the same size and so perfect. Hope they tasted as good as they look.
Vincent – how did your rocky roads turn out?
Delicious. I emailed you the video.
I can’t wait to see it! I’m glad they were so tasty!
Hope you shared them with your family and didn’t eat TOO many Vincent.

I made a roast chicken salad which can be eaten with couscous or wholemeal pitta bread.
1. Cut some lettuce, cabbage and carrots into a bowl to make the
salad.
2. Put a few drops of balsamic dressing into the salad.
3. Take a piece of roast chicken from the oven after cooking for 45
minutes and cut into pieces.
4. Boil some couscous on the pan for 15 minutes.
5. Eat with pitta bread or couscous.
6. Ready to eat.
It tastes very nice and yummy!
It looks delicious in your photo Catherine! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Wish I’d been able to have some Catherine!
We had lots of ripe bananas so we made banana muffins and banana and strawberry smoothies.
I like banana muffins because they are sweet. I like to eat them warm out of the oven. They look delicious. They are perfect, I do not like icing so it would not make them better.
They both sound delicious! I love banana muffins too!
What a good way to use up your ripe bananas Finley. I must say I’ve had a few ripe bananas in my house over the last few weeks. Thank you for these ideas. Now I know how to use them up.
I made Brabanterkrapferl with my mummy.
1. I like the biscuits because they have chocolate on it.
2. yes
3. delicious
4. I would have liked more sprinkles on it.
What tasty biscuits!
