This is the site where all schools involved in the Queen Elizabeth Parks Project in both the UK and Uganda can share their learning
Today Liss children in Yr 6 created their own Ugandan-style meals in groups. The children used a range of ingredients that they had tasted the previous week, but also used water melon, pineapple and rice. The children worked very hard to create balanced meals and the photos can be seen below.
And now a question for our Ugandan friends. Evie, in Rowan Class, wants to know how long it takes to grow a water melon from seed to full size? Can anybody help her?
At Liss, as we approach the end of our Uganda topic, we set the children a design technology task – to plan and make a Ugandan – style meal. Before the children can do this, they have to taste Ugandan food. Mr Stanley was very busy in the Liss kitchen making the following:
Roast IRISH potatoes
Roast Sweet potatoes
Chapatis
Muchomos
Banana chips
Salad
Katchembali
The children tasted the food and had to complete an evaluation. The next step will be to plan and create their own Ugandan meals. We will report to you on their progress!
Warm greetings to our friends in Kafuro and throughout schools in the UK and Uganda involved in the Queen Elizabeth Parks Project. Also a big ‘Hello’ to the Czech and Belgian teachers who visited our school and who are likely to be reading this blog. This week the Year 6 children at Liss Junior School designed, cooked and ate their Ugandan-style meals.
The children had access to the cob oven and many of the groups were keen to cook muchomos and chapattis. Mr Stanley showed them how to make chapatti dough, roll it flat and then to fry it in a pan. He also showed the children how to skewer meat to make muchomos.
The children boiled and roasted Irish potatoes and sweet potatoes as well as making salads. One group decided to make their own rolex and several groups also cooked rice.
The children were very pleased with their creations and filled out evaluation forms which showed how much they enjoyed making the food.
Mr Stanley is looking forward to cooking European-style food with Kafuro children in August using their cob oven. What food would you suggest?
