Seasonal Tarts is a Design Technology unit of work aimed primarily at children aged 7-9.
Design Brief: Design and make a seasonal, savoury tart for your school lunch
Overview:
For this project children design and make a seasonal, savoury tart for their school lunch. This unit develops their cooking skills and introduces the technique of baking using pastry. Children learn about seasonality in food and how different climates across Europe mean that different fruit and vegetables are grown and harvested at different times of the year.
Children learn how to make short crust pastry when they create jam tarts. This provides an opportunity to learn more about how and why foods are preserved. Applying their knowledge of how to create sweet tarts, in the design and make activity children design and make a savoury tart for themselves having considered their favourite fruit and vegetables.
