Junior Chef’s Journey (Enrichment) Term 1 (5/8): Chocolate Chip and Ham & Cheese Scones

Instructor: Chef Leigh Ann van Cuylenburg

At ANATTA, we believe cooking and baking is as essential a life skill as mathematics, swimming, or physical sports. That’s why we consistently curate & offer classes for children aged 7 to 12 years old, which is the critical age for learning.

Learning points:
This series of 8 classes that run concurrently with the school term exposes children to a variety of basic but technical skills in cooking & baking. Each class helps them build confidence in the kitchen, teaching them how to work safely with heat, tools, and ingredients in a controlled, child-friendly environment.

Safety & focused guidance:
All classes are conducted with a 1:5 Instructor–Student ratio to ensure safety and dedicated support for every child.

Age group: 7 to 12 years old

Timetable:

Every Tuesday & Saturday
The same recipe is offered for the Tuesday & Saturday in the same week
