Year 4 - Design and Technology - Pizza Making
In DT, Year 4 have been looking at how to make pizzas and in this lesson they all made their own pizzas using a readymade pizza-base. The children had a variety of toppings to choose from. First, the children spread the pizza sauce onto their pizza base and after that they decorated their pizza with a reasonable amount of toppings. Then they put cheese on top of the toppings and Mrs.Mountain helped to put the pizzas into the oven and take them out. After a little waiting, the children finally got to eat their delicious pizzas.
