Year 6 Global Cooking Experience Year 6 have been learning to cook Nigerian food as part of their Design & Technology curriculum, with exciting cross-curricular links to Geography and African culture. Pupils tasted traditional ingredients and flavours, brought to life by a very special guest chef, who shared expertise and cultural insight. A brilliant hands-on experience that combined practical skills, cultural understanding and (most importantly!) delicious food and drink. Learning has never tasted so good! #GlobalLearning #DTinAction #GeographyLinks #Nigeria
