Year 2 - Masterchef 2025

What an exciting week it has been in Year 2! As part of our learning about the countries of the UK, we focused on Wales – and what better way to explore Welsh culture than through its food? We chose to make Glamorgan sausages, a traditional Welsh vegetarian dish made with cheese, leeks, breadcrumbs and herbs.

Throughout the week, the children have been building their cooking skills step by step. We’ve learned how to use a knife safely, practising both the claw and bridge techniques. We've also been measuring ingredients carefully using kitchen scales, and developing our mashing and mixing skills to get everything just right.

Then on Friday, it was time for the big cook! The children worked in teams to follow the recipe from start to finish, showing brilliant focus, cooperation, and determination. It was fantastic to see how much they had learned and how confidently they used their new skills.
