Year 5 & 6 Create Their Own Bolognese Masterpieces 2 February 2026 Over the past few weeks, our Year 5 and 6 class have been busy becoming mini chefs - designing, refining, and perfecting their very own **bolognese recipes**. Today was the exciting moment they’ve been waiting for: cooking day! Armed with chopping boards, aprons, and lots of enthusiasm, the children got hands‑on in the kitchen. They practised **safe knife skills**, learned **essential cooking techniques**, and confidently followed their personalised recipes. ### Secret Ingredients & Serious Skills To make their dishes unique, pupils chose their own extra ingredients… and the surprise favourite of the day? **Chipotle chilli flakes!** A bold choice — and very popular! Throughout the session, children showed: - Great focus and independence - Safe handling of knives and hot equipment - Creativity in adapting their recipes - Excellent teamwork and patience The results smelled amazing, and every child should feel proud of what they achieved. Well done to all our young chefs - after today, we’re sure you can all **make the tea at home**! ![Cooking at Holy Rosary in Billingham](https://holyrosary.bhcet.org.uk/images/624282928_1409956314251760_8060301623012383000_n.jpg)![Cooking at Holy Rosary in Billingham](https://holyrosary.bhcet.org.uk/images/624470806_1409956290918429_6035726085153462639_n.jpg) [ Budding Scientists Put Materials to the Test!](https://holyrosary.bhcet.org.uk/news/2026-01-26-budding-scientists-put-materials-to-the-test) [Kindness Served Warm: A Celebration That Made Everyone Smile ](https://holyrosary.bhcet.org.uk/news/2026-02-10-kindness-served-warm-a-celebration-that-made-everyone-smile) ![Our Lady Of The Most Holy Rosary Catholic Academy](https://files.schudio.com/our-lady-of-the-most-holy-rosary-catholic-academy-2/images/logo/Bishop_Hogarth_and_Hexham_Logo_new_(1).png) ### Our Lady Of The Most Holy Rosary Catholic Academy Rievaulx Avenue Billingham TS23 2BS 01642 552274 ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/OLMHR/) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/holyrosary_billingham/) ### Translation ### Office 365 [Sign in to Office 365](https://outlook.office.com/) © Copyright 2025–2026 Our Lady Of The Most Holy Rosary Catholic Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://holyrosary.bhcet.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
