Learners practice the skill they learn for the week by creating the recipe with the help of illustrative recipe card at home.Class Experience
In this multidisciplinary class students will learn to make a red velvet cupcake and also read/watch and animated story book - Plant a kiss. The class is more baking focused but we will also try to incorporate English language skills, focus being punctuation/inflection. - This recipe is simple for little ones to try. The class will cover a range of skills like cracking, pouring, egg, mixing, icing with glaze. - Learners are expected to wash hands, put on aprons before the class starts. The teacher outlines the plan for the class after introductions. If the Illustrative recipe card (provided upon enrollment) is printed and alongside the child, that’s great! If not I can share it on the screen to checklist the ingredients. - The learner can work through each recipe step by step, watching the teacher. - Because these are mini chefs so I go along the child’s pace and hand hold them during the lesson so they can enjoy the experience. - The atmosphere is relaxed, each child is given the space to ask questions and make suggestions. - As an advanced learning technique, children are asked to predict next steps or ingredients. - I try to use a wide range of ingredients so as to develop the vocabulary. However, those ingredients are regular store cupboard ones. - I encourage children to taste and experiment with different types of food whilst they are cooking - Class will be interactive as we will watch an animated story book after we’ve finished baking. We will interact and talk about different aspects of the story and if time permits play a rhyming word game and discuss the effects of punctuation on our voices when we read. - The minimum enrolment for this class is 3. Please be aware that the class might be rescheduled to a later date or canceled if it doesn't meet the minimum learner requirement. - No prior knowledge is required.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello, I'm Fizza and I'm passionate learner and one who loves to share this passion! Here on Outschool I offer loads of interesting classes like Maths, creative writing, book club, critical thinking, baking and cooking, productivity and nutrition.
Most kids love to cook, get messy, lick their fingers but in the process they are learning so many life skills. I want to inculcate this adventure with food where they can be mindful of their food and the can immerse themselves into this art. I have two children myself and they’ve seen me sharing my passion with other kids and so it’s a given that both of them enjoy being in the kitchen with me where we try lots of different things. In my virtual Outschool kitchen club, we create a huge variety of recipes sweet and savoury. I encourage my little crockpots (my learners in the kitchen!!) to try new foods in the class. Please remember that the recipes we create in the class might not always be your learner's favourite. The purpose is to develop their sensibilities to various ingredients so they can choose foods that are good for them. The purpose is for them enjoy and learn cooking cause everyone should know how to cook and feed themselves.
I teach cooking and nutrition, healthy eating at Little Crock Pots Cookery Club for kids and I also teach at a local Sunday school. I have a B.Sc in Biology and Chemistry and I also have a Masters degree in Management Sciences. I have a Diploma from the London school of Journalism in freelance and feature writing. I’ve worked as a content writer and research analyst for major advertising companies and so I also want to bring this experience into teaching. I also have a CPD certification in Numicon teaching. I also have a certification as an Advanced Gut Restoration Nutritional Advisor.
I’ve run cooking classes for more than 8 years at after school cooking clubs, community centres, schools etc.Reviews
