For the first half of this term (3) Year 7 Technology class has been studying Food. Applying the principles of good design to food preparation and presentation.

Students have prepared and cooked a variety of dishes including double choc muffins, apple crumble, noodles, sausage rools and many more. Students have also been set the task of preparing a design folio for the subject with study areas including;

• A recipe book
• The five food group pyramid
• Designing a daily menu based on the 5 food groups
• Researching a career in the food/hospitality industry
• Occupational healt and safety issues
• Researching a cultural food

Students have spent much of their Technology classes this term in the school’s Food Preparation room with our food guru Jan. The “hands-on” (often quite literally… in the mixing bowl) has been a lot of fun, and the bonus is students get to eat the food they cook.
