View PostYear 7 Have Also Been Baking Up Some Treats in the Food Tech Room! The classroom has been full of focus (and fantastic smells!) as students worked stepbystep through the process of making blueberry muffins. From careful health and safety practice to confidently following the recipe, they've really impressed us with their independence. Their teamwork was brilliant too, lots of helping hands, problemsolving, and encouragement all around. And of course... the smiles during the taste test said everything we needed to know! Well done, Year 7, a great effort all round. #FoodTechFun #LifeSkill #BakingSkills #YoungCooks #KitchenLearning #gosforthgroup #GosforthJuniorHighAcademy #CreatingFutures
