Cookery Enrichment Programmes for Primary Schools

The Power of Baking

Curiosity → Independence → Pride → Self-belief → Sharing → Belonging

At BAKE N PLAY by Dolce Senso, baking is more than learning how to make food. It is a powerful educational tool that helps children discover what they are capable of.

Learning With Purpose

Every BAKE N PLAY programme combines practical learning with opportunities for personal development.

Think independently
Solve problems
Communicate and work as a team
Take responsibility
Try new things
Keep going when something doesn't work
Take pride in what they achieve

The recipe is only the beginning.

Bringing the Curriculum to Life

Our programmes can be designed to complement your school's curriculum and educational priorities.

Design & Technology

Children explore ingredients, develop practical food preparation skills, make choices, create products and evaluate their results.

Maths

Measuring, weighing, fractions, ratios, time, budgeting and scaling recipes give children opportunities to use maths in a meaningful context.

Science

Baking transforms the kitchen into a laboratory. Children explore chemical reactions, changes of state, temperature, mixtures, ingredients and nutrition through first-hand experience.

Healthy Eating & Food Education

Children explore ingredients, balanced diets and food choices while developing practical skills and greater confidence around food.

Personal Development

Every session creates opportunities for children to communicate, cooperate, make decisions, take responsibility and experience the pride of doing something for themselves.

Learning That Feels Like an Adventure

Children learn differently when they are actively involved. That's why our programmes are designed as experiences rather than simply cooking lessons.

They are having fun. But behind every adventure is a clear learning purpose.

Designed Around Your School

Every school is different. We can create programmes around your pupils, curriculum and educational priorities.

What Children Take With Them

Children may take home something they have baked. But we want them to take home something much more important.

Curiosity to explore
Independence to try
Pride in what they achieve
Self-belief to try again
The confidence to share
And the feeling that they belong

That's The Power of Baking.
