@edmunds_dr Thank you for sharing, it is so important that any barriers are removed

I leave my school in 1 week. The best thing has been the comments from staff and students alike who tell you how they like what I have done, how they think I am “sound”. You don’t hear this normally.

@MrLewisFood Very impressive!

[Food and Nutrition @FoodTeaching]

@Made_in_heth_ac @AcadHethersett Wow that’s incredible for GCSE, well done everyone

Quote of the day “I knew my revision was excellent and would pay off” from a y7. Y11, are you listening?

[Food and Nutrition @FoodTeaching]

Saving the best for last - the final Y9 street foods class were fabulous. It’s been time consuming organising ingredients for 190 students cooking their own choices but worth it - Korean, French, Argentinian and Mexican food were some cuisines we visited this week

Showed my second y10 class some fruit tarts that the other y10 class made. Tomorrow is their chance to show us what they can do in an hour. Love a bit of healthy competition between classes 🏆

@DeputySchofield @WomenEd European purchasing manager, then stay at home Mum, then PGCE age 48. Never forget being told by a Deputy Head at a placement school that none of my skills were transferable….

Y8 practical assessments this week - 6 veg pasta sauce. When I started many students balked at using vegetables, now they pick them up (onion, garlic, leek, courgette, carrot, mushroom, aubergine and tomatoes) and just cook 👩‍🍳 “It smells really good”.

Y10 seemed really keen to collect their food at lunchtime rather than after school today… I feel rather sorry for the families that missed out on their profiteroles

[Food and Nutrition @FoodTeaching]

Mixed emotions handing my letter of resignation today as I move schools for a promotion, but proud that my continuing effort for our students was recognised and promoted on school’s socials

[Food and Nutrition @FoodTeaching]

Have spent about 3 hours organising ingredients for next weeks cooking today. From Afghanistan to Columbia, Syria, Korea, the US of A and everywhere in between, the flavours in y9’s street food project next week will be immense!

[Food and Nutrition @FoodTeaching]

Some fabulous cooking this week, with students stretching themselves to pack in the skills in 1 hour lessons. A y10 produced this individual fraisier cake

[Food and Nutrition @FoodTeaching]

And another y9 made menemen, a Turkish brunch dish. So excited that these Preston kids are experimenting with cuisines and flavours

@MissBorwick @acharya_molly And some have chosen foods from new to them cuisines- we will have Afghani, Syrian, Thai, Korean, Greek, Indonesian, Argentinian, Mexican, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Indian….
