Cookery Club

Dear Parent/Guardian

As you may know your child has chosen to take part in our cookery class in Children’s University, this is just a short note to fill you in on some important information. During our course we do intend to make/bake/cook something every week and obviously being a cookery course we need ingredients, so to help cover the costs of these we would be grateful if your child could bring in 50p every Friday. Your child will also get to keep what they have made and will need to bring it home, so they will also need a container every Friday to carry their culinary delights in. Finally we do provide all the utensils and equipment, but the only thing we don’t have is suitable cookery aprons, so if you would like to protect your childs clothes from “mess” (especially flour!) they will also need to bring an apron.

Could you also please advise us if your child has any allergies, so we are aware of these when we are planning the sessions.

If you would like to discuss any of the above or have any other queries please don’t hesitate to come and see us and let the cooking begin!!!!!

With thanks,

Miss M. L. Green
