Get baking

A primary food project for pupils aged 7-8 years

Get baking primary food project

This food project has been developed to enable pupils to learn how bread from around the world can contribute to a healthy, varied diet. Pupils will also learn more about where their food comes from, how different ingredients are produced (e.g. flour), and use research and tasting to plan and make bread safely and hygienically. This learning will be delivered in the context of planning and making bread to share with classmates.

Aims:

  • Pupils will investigate bread including how it is made and the varieties found around the world.
  • Pupils will learn about the role of bread, and meals which include bread, in a healthy, varied diet.
  • Pupils will practise bread making skills while working safely and hygienically.
  • Pupils will plan, make and evaluate their own bread dish.
