Oaks have been visited by Chef John from a charity called ‘Table Talk’. He is helping our Year 5/6 pupils develop their interest in food and will visit Oaks for several sessions over the term.
During his first visit John helped the children explore the idea of using all of our senses to explore a small selection of food stuffs (honey, tomato, green ginger jelly, red peppermint jelly, samphire, sour dough bread) on their plates. They discussed the word ‘umami’ when tasting tomatoes. The children all had their own chefs hat and white apron – they looked great in them!
