      Let's make a layered breakfast

      Lesson details

      Learning outcome

      I can make a layered breakfast.

      Key learning points

      1. We should have breakfast everyday.
      2. Before cooking, we need to get ready to cook to be safe and hygienic.
      3. The food skills used to make a layered breakfast are spooning and layering.
      4. Spoons can be used for measuring, adding ingredients and spreading.

      Keywords

      • Breakfast - the meal eaten in the morning

      • Hygienic - keeping yourself clean

      • Spooning - using a spoon to put food onto or into something

      • Layered - arrange in a layer, on top

      Common misconception

      Hands can be washed in cold water with soap.

      Hands must be washed in warm water with soap, then dried well.

      Teacher tip

      Pupils can share pots of yogurt, fruit and cereal, taking only what they need using a spoon. This helps with limited equipment and less pupils walking around the room.

      Equipment

      For ingredients and equipment see the recipe in Additional Materials.
