This morning, Year 4 have been making Bruschetta in food technology. We were very impressed with their knowledge and skills at each stage of the recipe and the final products were fantastic!
The main skill we were practising in this recipe was cutting safely with a knife. Your children used two different cutting techniques: bridge and the claw. They used these confidently and safely.
- We used the bridge to safely and securely cut the tomatoes into smaller chunks.
- We used the claw to cut the basil leaves up into small pieces.
Then, we peeled the garlic and used a garlic crusher to squeeze it into our tomato and basil mixture and give it a good stir. It’s safe to say the room (and your children) smelt very strong!
Once all the ingredients were combined in a bowl, the final challenge was to spoon the Bruschetta mixture onto the sliced and toasted baguette without making a mess.
Finally, your children got to dig in to their Bruschetta and enjoy all of their hard work! Almost all of them loved it. We had some very happy chefs, rating it a 10/10!
Help at home: remake the recipe at home with your child. Could you add something new: onion, avocado, ham or cheese?
