Food Studies & Textiles

Reflections from students

Textiles this term has been something I’ve never really got to experience before, and has helped me develop some new skills of threading and cross-stitch. At first it looks like this impossible task that would take ages to finish, but is actually something really helpful in some cases, that always turns out beautiful with effort. It’s not the easiest thing in the world, neither is it the best, but it’s definitely something to go for because you’ll never know if It’s your passion without even trying, Anna M, 8D.

The cooking was quite fun and it was a bonus that we got food at the end and being able to learn how to cook. Year 7 student.

My time in food tech has been really fun! I loved every class, especially when we cook. Ms Hanna is very nice by giving us demonstrations before cooking. I would love to have miss and food tech again. Year 7 Student.

Food tech was a great experience to learn new cereals/grains and learn about hygiene. I liked doing our design brief because I got to put my own spin on the pancake I wanted to do. Overall, I had a great experience in food tech, Jasmine, Year 8.

This is the first I have had food tech as an elective. It is safe to say that it is an amazing experience to be able to cook outside of your comfort zone and home. I have learnt so many things throughout this term in food tech like, learning how to read recipes and that there is another side to Cereals. Christina, 8H

We have cooked food for this term and we have been learning about wheat and what food contains wheat. We did a Assessment task abut wheat and a pancake booklet. Ms Hanna finds a way to make us quiet and she is The Master Chef and cooks nice food, Year 8 Student.

I enjoyed Food Studies this term. I learnt a lot about many types of cereals especially a rice grain. This elective challenged me to work much faster in the kitchen, during the double period. It was also informative because I learnt a substantial amount about grains, production processes, hygiene and safety. Good job Ms Hanna! Jamal Baba, Year 8.
