Food | |||
Intent | Food is a life skill, which every child should have knowledge of. From nutrients to basic cooking skills; children all need to learn to feed themselves and understand what they are putting into their bodies. Here at Hebburn Comprehensive, we want our students to be independent learners and thinkers, therefore, our food curriculum will inspire, challenge and develop their potential from year 7 onwards. Safety is key when cooking, and the students are taught from year 7 the importance of food safety and basic health and hygiene when in the kitchen, they learn knife skills and how to use the grill, oven and the hob. This fosters an independence and a love of cooking and gives them to skills to feed themselves and others throughout their life.
Food comes from many different cultures and each culture has a different way of flavouring and presenting their foods. As well as different cultures and traditions of food, the students will learn about sustainability and locally grown foods in the school’s vegetable garden, fostering a love and interest in the environment and nature. This gives them an understanding that their food choices can impact on the environment and enables them to make healthier food choices. |
