Bleasdale had a fantastic time at the Pig and Whistle learning to make pizza’s to help us with our instructional writing.

Each student got their own station with dough, flour, and all the ingredients needed to create their pizzas from scratch. They learned to knead and stretch the dough (which was quite a workout!), spread the tomato sauce, and then choose their own toppings. There were plenty of choices—pepperoni,  pineapple, cheese, ham, chicken  and more. We had some unique creations, from classic Margaritas to “everything-on-it” pizzas.

Once the pizzas were topped to perfection, they were whisked into the oven. The pupils got to see how quickly the pizzas cooked at high temperatures, which really impressed them. In just a few minutes, their masterpieces were ready.

Finally, the best part—eating! The students were so proud to try their own pizzas and even shared bites with each other. We had lots of “mmm!” and “this is the best pizza ever!” comments, and many asked if they could make pizza at home.

Overall, it was a fantastic experience that taught the students new skills and teamwork. We hope your child enjoyed it as much as we did and maybe can even show off their new pizza-making skills at home!I’m sure this experience will help them with a great instructional text.

All pupils have access to our woodland area with well equipped joinery workshop.

Pupils can get hands on; contructing thought out dens, learning wookshop safety and woodcraft skills.

Pupils take great pride in contructing bespoke pieces.
