Hi.

I'm Vicky and I am the Cookery and Snack co-ordinator at Millstead.

I work across the school providing healthy snacks and cookery activities for each cohort.

Each cookery activity is process based learning and linked to each cohorts topic.

Each pupil has their own targets to work towards and are encouraged to follow visual and verbal instructions as well as developing their communication and independent living skills. As well as pupils developing new skills I will be encouraging them to have lots of fun!

The Cookery room is a Covid safe environment. Only 6 six people are allowed in the room at any time. Social distancing is adhered to and everybody who accesses the room is required to wash their hands before and after each activity.  Each pupil uses their own equipment, which is cleaned thoroughly. Each bubble has a designated day to access the cookery room.

I have a list of all pupils who have food allergies/intolerances.
