After school club:- ICT

Cookery Club: Apple Crumble

After a half term break, the cookery club were straight back to it with a lesson on how to make Apple Crumble. First they had to slice and dice the fruit. After that, Mr Borrell demonstrated how to make the perfect crumble mix. Finally the children put it all together in their catering containers to share with their families. What a delicious treat. Unsurprisingly Mr Drakes chose this workshop as the one he would come and visit. He is well known for his addiction to anything that can be covered with custard.
