I worked hard to build reciprocal relationships with this class, which was challenging at times because I only saw them once a week. There was such a diverse range of students, from their abilities, to their prior knowledge and their motivation and commitment to completing tasks.
Every lesson I had with this class was a theory lesson and I was often asked - why don't we cook with you miss?! - JWR and I decided at the very beginning that she would do all the practical lessons with them for continuity.
Below is an image of the resources that JWR sent me.
We started in February, with knife safety and identification and recapped what they had learnt in March. The students were making sausage rolls in a practical lesson with JWR and required a little more scaffolding before the practical lesson.
We then moved onto bacteria and contamination.
Everyone of these lesson;s required a first up task as well as LI's and SCs. Someties WR and I discussed these and sometimes I had to wing it!
I was quite settled into the routine of teaching this group and enjoyed most of the tasks. When term two came around I was no longer required to support JWR with this class as JMC returned to work.
