Cookery Club East Preston Infant School Only x 8 weeks

This is a small club of 10 to ensure that we can give the children very close supervision.  If you would be able to come along and help the children, please just let Sam know.

In this course we will be exploring all aspects of basic cookery from hygiene, mashing, grating, mixing,cutting,  using the hob, oven and microwave. There will also be some washing and drying up!

The children will be invited to explore different foods which they may bring home or enjoy at the end of the class.  Sometimes they may bring something home to cook, sometimes Sam may cook the food after the session and the children will be given the food the next day. All foods will be fresh and where possible, unprocessed.  All foods and materials will be provided.  Your child will also be given an apron, but we can't guarantee that your child won't get food stuffs on their clothes!

It is really important that you give full details of any dietary requirements such as allergies and  religious observances. Please also let Sam know if your child has any difficulties with food. She has experience of children with eating disorders and would be very happy to have a chat with you about how you manage any issues at home so that she can talk to the children in a way that is consistant with any methods you emply at home.

We will not be talking to the children in terms of healthy and unhealthy foods as we understand that for children who restrict the foods that they are prepared to try,  that eating anything is often a blessing. Rather we will simply be talking about balance. Again, if you wish to discuss anything with Sam just contact her, via the website.

At the end of the session Sam will bring the children out through the front door past reception at 4.30.

Due to the planning, preparation and buying of food we are unable to offer refunds for sessions not attended.
