Evaluate risks and benefits, as well as the social and ethical
issues concerning the use of stem cells from embryos in medical
research
This area is concerned with developing the pupils’ capacity to
respond emotionally and intellectually to sensory experience and to
appreciate beauty and fitness for purpose. It involves the exploration
and understanding of feelings and the processes of making,
composing and inventing. There are aesthetic and creative aspects of
all subjects, but some, including art, music, dance, drama and the
study of literature, make a particularly strong contribution because
they call for personal, imaginative and creative responses.
Book Art/ Diary
Recording your experiences, the everyday, big life events or
specific observations.
These could include:
Recording observations of your route to and from school each day
Recording your emotions/ thoughts each day.
Recording your activities/ observations each day.

Food and Nutrition - GCSE
AUTUMN
1
Focus: Food Preparation and Nutrition GCSE (Specification Name: AQA Food Preparation and Nutrition 8585)
This newly accredited GCSE focuses on practical cooking skills to ensure that students develop a thorough understanding of nutrition,
food provenance and the working characteristics of food materials. The qualification also focuses on nurturing students’ practical
cookery skills to give them a strong understanding of nutrition.
In addition, they will consider consumer issues, food and its functions and new technologies/trends in food.
Food preparation skills are integrated into five core topics:
Food, nutrition and health
Food science
Food safety
Food choice
Food provenance
Pupils will build upon prior learning from National Curriculum Design and Technology and in particular the subject content of cooking
and nutrition. They will enhance their knowledge and understanding of what constitutes a healthy balanced diet and good nutrition. This
includes the Eatwell guide, energy balance and the role of nutrients in a balanced diet. They will already have developed a range of
different practical skills and made a repertoire of predominantly savoury products which meet current guidelines for healthy eating
prior to the course.
Food hygiene and safety is to be taught as an integral part of every lesson when preparing, cooking and serving foods.
(The students will have already prepared a recipe file during the Summer holidays)
