Design Technology - Bread and Soup (Lower Key Stage 2)

In this unit of work children create a simple lunch of a healthy soup and a bread roll. Children follow instructions and recipes to make a classic tomato soup and a bread roll. Children learn how bread is made and develop their skills in preparing food and kneading bread. Children consolidate their understanding of how taste testing can be used to evaluate food products and through participating in taste tests develop their own taste vocabulary. Children learn some of the key messages around healthy eating and use this information to explain how their lunchtime meal provides them with a healthy, balanced meal.

This knowledge, skills and understanding is delivered through the following six sessions:

1. IDEA Task 1: All About Soups & IDEA Task 2: Soup Taste Test
