Design Technology - Sharing Bread (Lower Key Stage 2)

Sharing Bread is a Design Technology unit of work aimed primarily at children aged 7-9. The unit focuses on children designing and making bread that can be shared as part of a meal.
Design Brief: Design and make a unique bread product to share with friends.
The package provides the medium-term plan, six lessons (each lesson has a MS Powerpoint presentation). Any additional resources are provided as PDFs or as Powerpoint Presentations. This unit of work fulfils the National Curriculum (England) Design Technology requirements for this age group in the following strands of learning:
• Cooking and Nutrition
In this unit of work:
Children will investigate a range of bread products from around the world. They will learn a basic bread recipe and using this knowledge will adapt this recipe to create their own authentic bread product that has been designed and made by them. In this unit they will learn that additional ingredients can be added to the bread to create a unique recipe. They will learn how to shape the bread to make it easier for tearing and sharing. They conduct a taste test to evaluate their bread and also develop packaging for their bread product.
This unit of work is part of the Primary Design Technology Scheme of Work for children aged 5-11 being developed on behalf of Carousel Education.
