Welcome to Food & Nutrition
What will we be doing in Year 7?
In Year 7 you will usually have one term (One Module) of Food & Nutrition as part of a rotation system within the Technology Department. The rotation system means that you can have your Food Module in the Autumn, Spring or Summer term.
Our main aim as a Food department is to ensure that you grow to enjoy preparing and cooking food to share with your friends and family. As a Year 7 student you will be taking part in practical and theory lessons. The theory lessons will ensure that you are safe, and understand the principles of good nutrition, food choices, food hygiene and basic food science. In the practical lessons you will make a selection of savoury and sweet dishes, using a variety of skills techniques and equipment.
Below is a list of books, documentaries, films and websites and locations that you could engage with, if possible, to develop your subject knowledge on topics you will cover in Year 7.
