Cooking is a great way to teach kids about nutrition, math, science, and more. And with Year 6 students getting ready to transition to secondary school, it’s the perfect time to get them in the kitchen and give them some skills they can use for life. Here are some fun and easy cooking ideas for Year 6 students to try out:
1. Rainbow Smashed Avocado Toast – Toast some bread and top it with smashed avocado, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, goat cheese, and a drizzle of honey for a colorful and tasty breakfast.
2. Mini Pizzas – Have each student assemble their own mini pizza using pre-made pizza crusts, tomato sauce, cheese, and toppings of their choice. Pop them in the oven and enjoy!
3. Fruit Kabobs – Cut up some colorful fruits like strawberries, pineapple, and cantaloupe and have the students assemble them on wooden skewers. Serve with a yogurt dip for a healthy and fun snack.
4. Pasta Salad – Cook some pasta according to the package instructions and toss it with chopped vegetables, cheese, and a simple vinaigrette dressing for a tasty lunch or side dish.
5. Chocolate-Dipped Fruit – Melt some chocolate in the microwave and dip strawberries, banana slices, or other fruit in it. Let it harden on parchment paper and enjoy as a sweet treat.
These are just a few ideas to get your year 6 students excited about cooking. Encourage them to come up with their own recipes and have fun in the kitchen!
