Tunnock’s Teacake Challenge

Our Year 10 GCSE Food Preparation and Nutrition students took part in the Tunnock’s Teacake Challenge during their practical lessons this half term. The food styling challenge was to produce a plate with a focus on the presentation of a Tunnock’s Teacake to the theme of “Patterns and Shapes”. The students were encouraged to create a piece of culinary art using their artistic creativity and food preparation skills.

We were looking for the most stunning plate created. Marks were awarded for creativity, presentation and using a variety of technical skills. Our students demonstrated various high level skills including making their own honeycomb, fruit coulis and piping.

Due to the strength of the entrees it was difficult for our guest judges, Food & Textiles teachers Mrs Dray and Mrs Finch, to pick the winners. Our top four students were 1st place Darcey Cumberland, 2nd place Immie Baldwin and joint 3rd place Annabella Johnson and Alice Lynn. Darcey will be entered into the national competition to represent Presdales and we wish her all the best.

Year 12 Lamp Project

It is that time of the year when the nights seem to be drawing in, but as has become traditional in Product Design in November, we find it to be illuminating and colourful. Year 12 students have once again produced some fantastic lamps as part of their initial mini-project. As well as the lamps students have produced design sheets to support their research, design thinking and development. Many of the lamps were on display at the Sixth Form Open Evening on Thursday 10th November. Please see the photos of a few of the different lamps.

Fabulous Year 7 Textiles Club

Every week on a Tuesday I go to the textiles club at lunchtime. I look forward to this club every week because I find it really fun and love to make things and I love to use sewing machines. We have recently made some bags which were quite fun. In this club and on this project we learnt how to pin, sew (if we didn’t know already), use a sewing machine and how to embroider patterns or initials onto the front of our project. I have made some very nice friends from going to this club.
