Home Economics | Curriculum for Excellence | S1 & S2

The S1 Home Economics Curriculum is a fun and exciting course that gives pupils the chance to study a range of topics. In term 1 pupils experience and learn how to use the cooker, develop basic practical skills and use of equipment, kitchen routine, hygiene and safety, weighing and measuring and organisational skills.

In term 2 pupils build on their practical skills and focus on Healthy Eating – A Balanced Diet, a basic insight into nutrients and their functions and individuals with differing dietary needs. Homework is a Healthy Eating Magazine deepening pupils knowledge and understanding. Pupils are involved in an interdisciplinary project for Health Week designing and making their own Healthy Eating Recipe book.

Pupils learn about the design process and make their own smoothies. This involves working as a company and following a design brief, analysing, planning, researching, making, sensory tasting and evaluating their product.

Pupils are working on level 3 Experiences and Outcomes in Technology and Health and Wellbeing which will allow them to progress onto Hospitality and Food Technology and Come Dine With me in S2.
