Karen Igoea, one of our TastEd teachers, has written about her Tasted Lessons:

“We really enjoy delivering TastEd lesson to our groups.  It incorporates the five senses and tastes and watching the children discover and explore these has been a real eye  opener.  Each week we build up word banks and encourage the children to use these in their writing.  Some children have never tried certain foods or even touched them.  As the lessons progress, these children are now open to explore new foods and will even taste some of them!  One of our favourite lessons is disruption to our taste experience. In this lesson watching the children’s  faces as they try raw rhubarb followed by chillies  then water to spread the heat round their mouths is interesting!! We have had great feed back from parents about these lessons with several children making their parents add different types of apples to their shopping lists.”
