Food Technology: Year 7             

Number of lessons per fortnight: 2

 Curriculum

In Year 7, students will begin with an introduction to Food Technology, covering health and safety, food hygiene, food storage and using the cooker and equipment.  All pupils will then attempt their first design project: Design and make healthy products for a child’s packed lunch.  Within this project pupils will also learn the importance of 5 a day and 3 a day, food poisoning, high risk foods and cross contamination.

Practical lessons:Healthy snacks, Scones, Chocolate refrigerator cake, Blueberry muffins, Chicken and cous-cous salad, Flapjack and Pasta salad.

Please note: Our school kindly provides basic store cupboard ingredients.  Pupils will be expected to bring in some more specialist ingredients and large containers for each practical lesson.

 Assessment:

Students are assessed on both their written and practical work. 

Written work (class work and homework) is marked for effort, presentation and attainment. 

Practical work is marked through observation for effort, ability to work independently, their skill with using equipment and the quality of the food made.

It is vital pupils bring in the required ingredients for practical so they can be assessed.

 Homework:

Students are set homework once a fortnight. Pupils are expected to complete homework on time or they will not be allowed to participate in practical lessons. 

Pupils will be given homework booklets at the start of term, which will gradually be completed through out the year.
