The Great Pizzeria Challenge
Can one class work together to turn a simple pizza into a successful pizzeria?
This isn't simply a pizza-making workshop. Pupils become scientists, nutritionists, budget planners and marketers as they work together to build their own class pizzeria — before every child gets hands-on and creates their own pizza.
One Challenge. Three Teams. One Pizzeria.
Food Scientists
Can we create the product?
Pupils explore ingredients, measurements, yeast, temperature and the science behind dough while developing curiosity and problem-solving skills.
Budget & Nutrition
Can we make good choices and make the numbers work?
Pupils work with a budget, compare costs, make ingredient choices and consider nutrition, developing practical maths and financial awareness.
Sales & Marketing
Can we convince people to buy it?
Pupils create their pizzeria identity, think about their customer and develop a persuasive advertisement using creativity, English and communication skills.
And then every child gets hands-on.
In the full Pizzeria Challenge, every pupil makes, shapes and creates their own pizza. The practical activity brings the learning together, giving children the opportunity to apply what they have explored and experience the pride of creating something themselves.
