Grade 6 Food Technology

Our Grade 6 students have officially embarked on their dedicated Grade 6 Program as they prepare for their transition to high school in 2027! As part of this exciting new chapter students are participating in a range of electives, including Food Technology, designed to develop their independence, confidence and practical skills.

After the student's potato wedges success (have you tried the recipe at home yet), the students have made fruit kebabs and mini pizzas.

Making fruit kebabs students had the opportunity to practise their knife skills, as well as a chance to try some new fruits. 

Continuing the progression of their kitchen skills, students were taught about the importance of using different surfaces for different ingredients to avoid cross contamination while making mini-pizzas. Using english muffins as their base, students made their own pizza sauce by mixing together 1 tablespoon of tomato paste, half a teaspoon of minced garlic and half a teaspoon of Italian Mixed Herbs. Topping options included ham, capsicum, olives, pineapple (controversial), and cheese. After ten minutes in the oven (and cleaning up) all the students were incredibly impressed with what they were able to produce. 

Fruit kebabs and mini pizzas are the perfect after school snack - if your child is doing Food Tech I would be putting in an order with them for the long weekend.
