On Monday this week, Year 5 made tomato and lentil soup! We worked in small groups to prepare the ingredients and then cook them. We made sure that we washed our hands and wore our aprons for hygiene reasons.
We used the bridge cutting method and the claw cutting method to cut up our ingredients. These methods are the safest way to cut food as they help us from hurting ourselves.
After the soup had simmered, we all had a taste and the reaction was, on the whole, very positive!
Help at home: Have your child show you the bridge and claw cutting methods. Why not try making the recipe at home? It has been sent home with your child.
