Food week – India

During Food Week, the children in year 3&4 focused on India, a country they are studying across various subjects. They explored Indian cuisine and culture, specifically learning about pani puri, which is known by different names in neighboring countries. The students discovered what pani puri is, who consumes it, its origins, and the various names it goes by. They also learned the process of making it. The week culminated in a hands-on session where the children prepared and tasted pani puri, with the majority expressing enjoyment and appreciation for the experience.

Impacts and outcomes: 

Food week broadened the children’s cultural awareness and appreciation, fostering an understanding and respect for diversity. By learning about the origins, variations, and cultural significance of pani puri, the students gain insights into Indian traditions and culinary practices.

Additionally, the hands-on experience of making and tasting pani puri enhanced their practical skills, such as following instructions, teamwork, and culinary techniques.
