Differentiation
Learners needing support: Will need support with the motor skills required for using a knife and may need to talk through the steps of slicing before they begin. Talk through the recipes as you work on the practical tasks to support their understanding. One-to-one adult support may be advisable for some children.
Learners working at a stretch: Should be encouraged to consider why procedures like tying up hair and wiping work surfaces are important. Could adapt the recipe as they work, perhaps by adding more fruit juice at the blending stage to thin the smoothie texture. Should be encouraged to reflect on food packaging they have seen to help them make design decisions.
