Writing recipes / Decorating the English corner in the classroom

When we learn about food we often like to try different recipes and do some cooking in the classroom. With the fifth grade students what we did first was making some pancakes - not entirely healthy food but there were some homemade ingredients :)

Then, we discussed the procedure and the students presented the recipe.

On the next lesson the students worked in groups and wrote the recipes on pieces of paper and decorated them accordingly. 

When their recipes were ready we used them along with some photos from the previous lesson to decorate the English corner in the classroom

Turning junk food into healthy food - cooking and learning !

You can always take the way you teach a step further. For example on this lesson where we were suppose to learn how to write a recipe in the 5th grade we decided to try the recipe first and then write it down. And not just learning vocabulary and giving instructions we also learnt how to prepare a healthy pizza. Turning junk food into healthy food was our aim and we achieved it :)
check out the link for the recipe and enjoy the photos.

Healthy food - Healthy life

There is a project in our school about promoting healthy food to students. In the fifth grade we have a lesson on food so we decided to learn the vocabulary and the importance of healthy food by doing something different on the lesson. The students brought all the ingredients and we prepared tasty salads. The students enjoyed while preparing the salads and also while eating them :)
We did a research and created a power point presentation on the nutrition values of all the vegetables that were used in the preparation.

Cooking - Learning can be fun!

We decided to try out this recipe I have on waffles. So that you don't think all we did was prepare and eat them, I have to tell you that we also learned all the cooking verbs and we created the video together, my students and I.
Make sure you have a notepad and a pencil, you might want to write this down:)

Cooking and food - Learning can be fun!

Sometimes we get tired and hungry during the lessons. That's why on one occasion we decided to give ourselves a treat and learn something on the way. We prepared a banana milkshake and we learned some of the verbs used in the process of the preparation like: cut, chop, mix, drink, smile, enjoy, have fun:)))
