The last week of Spring Term saw the return of our Chinese cooking week. We welcomed guests Phoenix and Chrissy, from The Healthy Chinese Cuisine Ambassadors sponsored by the Lee Kum Kee brand.

The children all enjoyed learning how to cook Kung Po Chicken, facts about Chinese traditions such as Lunar New Year and most had a go at mastering the art of using chopsticks.

A great time was had by all and Anna (our Food Tech teacher) was really proud of how the students engaged and worked with our guests, showing Philpots off at its best.
