Pizza Perfection for Reception

What a delightful week it has been in Reception! Our little learners have embarked on an exciting journey exploring the concept of healthy eating. We delved into the world of nutritious foods, emphasizing the importance of balanced meals and making healthy choices. To conclude our learning adventure, we took a special trip to Pizza Express, an experience that, while incredibly fun, may not align perfectly with our healthy eating focus! However, it did open up a discussion that treats are okay sometimes, as long as they’re part of a balanced diet.

Our adventure to Pizza Express began with a cheerful mini-bus ride into town. Upon our arrival, our enthusiastic young chefs donned their chef hats and aprons, and diligently washed their hands in preparation for their pizza-making escapade.

Under the guidance of the skilled chefs at Pizza Express, our Reception stars moulded the dough, swirled on the tomato sauce, and sprinkled on cubes of cheese, creating their very own personalised pizzas. The excitement was evident as the pizzas were placed into the oven, filling the air with the irresistible aroma of baking cheese and dough. When the pizzas emerged, golden and bubbling with cheese, there were smiles of delight from our little chefs.

Whilst this experience was one of fun, it provided an opportunity for our Reception children to engage in hands-on learning, fostering their creativity, teamwork, and fine motor skills.

We would like to express our thanks to Nuno and Chef Ben from Pizza Express for making our morning so memorable. As we continue our journey into the world of healthy eating, let’s remember the importance of balance and making mindful choices.
