S1 Flourish Slow Cooker Project

This year we are trialling a Slow Cooker programme with 11 S1 pupils and their families. They each received a free slow cooker, free weekly ingredients and recipes. On Wednesday mornings, during Home Learning, they tune into a live cooking session on Microsoft Teams with Miss Kelly and they all prepare their dinner together. Each recipe is healthy, budget friendly and encourages our young people to try new foods. Once ready, they all share pictures together and discuss feedback on their meal.

The aims of this project are to:

• Strengthen Parent/Carer and School partnership
  
• Improve Literacy and Numeracy Skills
  
• Build Confidence in the Kitchen
  
• Encourage Healthier Options
  
• Parents/carers with pupils are developing stronger, positive relationships with each other through a willingness to work and learn together in all sessions.
