🍳 Cookery Classes Underway in SNB! 🍰

10th Feb 2026

We are delighted to announce that a hands-on cookery course has begun in our school, led by Sharon Coleman, an experienced cookery instructor who delivers interactive cooking sessions for all ages.

The course started today with Junior Infants, 1st Class and 2nd Class, and we are already seeing great enthusiasm from the pupils.

These sessions are fully practical and designed to build children’s confidence and enjoyment in the kitchen. All ingredients, utensils, equipment and recipes are provided.

Cooking is such an important life skill, and pupils will have the opportunity to learn how to:

  • follow a recipe

  • weigh and measure ingredients

  • prepare meals

  • use a range of cooking methods

Each session will include the preparation of a healthy savoury dish as well as baking, giving pupils hands-on experience with a variety of techniques.

Importantly, every class in the school will receive at least two cookery sessions this term, ensuring all pupils have the chance to develop these valuable skills. Teaching children how to cook helps promote independence, healthy eating habits, and practical lifelong learning.

We are excited that this programme will become a regular feature in SNB, supporting our pupils in gaining essential skills for the future.
