We encourage consolidation of these skills at home during cooking time. We are sure that students are keen to help out at home with their newly learnt skills!
Look at the pride in their faces, sharing their learning in the following images:
What else can you do at home? Quiz your child on telling time to the minute with an analog clock - see how they go!
