Cooking in St Declans

We believe that cooking is a vital skill. We have reintroduced it this year and both students and teachers have been enjoying it. Cooking gives wonderful opportunities to children to develop their fine motor skills, in a meaningful context. Fine motor skills are essential for writing which in turn enables children to express themselves. This builds confidence and feelings of competence.
