This week is designed to offer young people an opportunity to gain new daily living skills in the kitchen. If you are already quite a competent cook then you can improve on your experience and enjoy fresh challenges. For those of you needing to start from the beginning, don't worry, you will be learning at a level where you will feel in control.
Independence is what the week is all about.
You will experience planning your own meals, shopping, counting the cost, cooking and eating. The principles of good practice and hygiene will be followed in all skills training. You will work in a small team of 4 people and rotate each day to a new aspect of living skills. Students will be given a realistic appraisal of their success at the end of the week and this will include suggestions for further learning and practice. There will be outings to the local leisure centre for swimming and a visit to the Mega Bowl.
