The organiser includes key vocabulary words, such as blender, peeler, slice, smoothie, and recipe, to build the pupils’ understanding of the tools and techniques used in preparing food. They will practise skills like peeling, slicing, and blending, developing confidence in handling ingredients and understanding how tools assist in preparation. The focus on food hygiene, including washing hands and cleaning tools, ensures safe and effective learning.
