Afternoon Tea

Lesson: Design and technology

Class: Pott Shrigley Class 2 Year: 2023 - 2024

This half term, the children have been learning all about cooking and nutrition. We decided to explore the British tradition of afternoon tea after learning about it when looking at Queen Victoria's reign earlier in the autumn term. 
We started by exploring the food groups and thought about how we could include healthy items. The children then designed their own menus incorporating items from each of them. 

Following on from this, the children designed and created their own invitations and menus. We invited the parents in and the children made their very own afternoon tea. They baked and decorated cakes, made sandwiches, fruit kebabs, and fruit smoothies. They each took on a role from greeting the parents, taking drinks orders, and handing out sandwiches. They were fantastic hosts the parents enjoyed the tasty delights!
