grainchain.com Inspire! competition

Monday, February 20, 2012

Are YOU free on Friday 22 June? Do YOU want to win a day with Paul Hollywood?  Do YOU teach food?  Do YOU teach 11-14 year olds?  Do YOU teach in the UK? 

Celebrity baker Paul Hollywood is supporting the grainchain.com Inspire! competition for a second year.  The competition asks teachers to submit a single lesson plan which stimulates learning around one of five areas.  These are: baking for celebration events; incorporating local ingredients; celebrating bread and cake making; exploring a variety of flour and grainc; and making the most of seasonal foods.  There will be four prizes of £500 to enhance food work in school as well as a baking master class with Paul with the chance to ask him your questions and to get some baking tips to take back to the classroom. 

We have also developed a range of resources to springboard your ideas and to get your creative juices flowing.  We have starter activities, main activities and suggestions for plenary and extention activities.  Use all or some or none of these in your competition entry.  Remember, we just want one lesson plan. Reinvent a tried and tested old favourite or try out something new with your G&T students. 

Pancake day is coming up - you could use that to kick start your competition entry under the banner of baking for celebration events?

For further details or to download an entry form visit www.grainchain.com/competitions. The competition closes on 4 May.
