In Year 8 Food Technology, students tackled food waste by creating recipes that repurposed the top six wasted foods. From delightful apple bread pudding to revamped hamburgers and savoury quiche, their culinary creations showcased both creativity and skill. One standout student ingeniously crafted a breakfast masterpiece, utilising all six commonly wasted foods: apple sauce-infused bacon, scrambled eggs, a homemade meat patty, and melted cheese between slices of bread. This course not only honed culinary skills but also fostered a profound sense of sustainability and resourcefulness, both in the kitchen and beyond, among our budding chefs. Digital Technologies students look at how the world is changing and how the use of digital technology can assist us with everyday life activities. We first start the course with students entering into the Amazing Game, through this students are engaged in activities such as What is Information Systems, using the London Tube, Get Pixelled, Data transfer and coding. At the end of the course students look at Apps and how they work. Students then use this knowledge of coding to write their own code and create their own App’s Students research, design and produce a decorative candelabra. The design process involves sketching ideas and material calculation. Skills in the workshop include: cutting, scrolling, bending, moulding and joining the metal. Students have learnt and practised using the digital program Sketchup to produce architectural drawings creating houses and farm sheds and designing buildings of the future.
