Year 8 Food Technology

This week, our Year 8 Food Technology students took on the challenge of preparing healthy and delicious tortilla wraps. This lesson focused on honing essential kitchen skills, with particular emphasis on using knives safely and effectively. Students learned how to prepare vegetables in various ways, including chopping, slicing, grating and shredding, while also working collaboratively to manage their time and maintain high standards of cleanliness and hygiene.

The recipe included fresh ingredients like lettuce, carrots, tomatoes and cucumber, with each student carefully preparing their vegetables. After assembling their wraps with a range of nutritious fillings, they practised folding and rolling the tortillas to perfection. By the end of the lesson, students not only enjoyed their tasty creations but also gained confidence in essential food preparation techniques.

As always, teamwork was a key aspect of the lesson, with students supporting each other to stay on task and ensure that their workspaces were kept clean throughout the process.
