In Design and Technology this half term, the children have been looking at, comparing and designing their own bolognese sauce.

They searched for different recipes on the internet, and worked in a group to devise their own with ingredients they would like and how to make a healthy.

In preparation for cooking, the children were tasked with practicing at home chopping food, so they had some experience of what was to come.

On Monday they were tasked with making their sauce using slow cookers in the classroom. A range of ingredients they used included: onions, celery, sweetcorn, potatoes, garlic and a wide range of herbs.

Some ingredients were not chopped prior to putting in the pots, so the children adapted to use (cleaned) tools from around the classroom to solve the problem.
