Design Technology - Making a Victoria sponge

Year 6 have been busy weighing, mixing, baking, chopping and most importantly enjoying the foods they have prepared in class:

Victoria sponge – we baked this classic cake to celebrate the end of our history topic on the Victorians.  This cake became popular after it is believed that Queen Victoria desired the plain sponge cake to be served with cream and jam!

Healthy eating plate – this was linked to our science topic of Animals including humans.  Year 6 recognise the importance of good physical and mental well-being.  In order to promote this, eating a balanced diet is key.  Year 6 planned and prepared a healthy plate to include half the quantity to consist of fruit and vegetables and the other half to include the other food groups. Their taste buds positively danced and tickled with delight!
